Well i received my bb just days ago. I already owned a silver bullet and loved it so i thought why no make the plunge. On to the bb. I initially was a little reluctant about the quality of the paint on my be a more that just a few blemishes upon arrival. Now I dont was this to seem like im bashing the bb at all because im not i really like the small size and portability along with the 6volt option. However i will admit i am a little rough on things after only a couple days my bb looks like it been to hell and back. The powdercoat is not holding up at all. While i still enjoy the pv i am not real impressed with the paint.

As i said before i am not bashing rob, altsmoke, or the bb only the quality of the powdercoat. I just want future buyers to be for warned. On a side note the raw finish on my silver bullet still looks grade A!!!

Chad I need a see through plastic wrap...with a hole in the middle for the button! Go! :p

Actually, when I purchased my GGT from Ikenvape(in the short time he was the US Supplier) he actually had a synthetic clear skin product called Skinomi TechSkin(which, apparently is Used by NASA to coat the space shuttle) available that was custom made to fit the GGT. All the pieces were precut to exactly fit over the respective GGT parts, and all you had to do was apply it. Here's there website:

What is TechSkin™?

Yeah the skinomi on a SB seems pretty damn crucial, imo (and apparently for the smooth BB too). Don't know how well it would work for the crinkled, but I imagine there's some extra powder coat on them anyway reducing the need for a protective layer. Awesome idea, I dig it & would definitely get one.
