You both raise good points!! I really like the look of the brushed finish. Mine had started to show some fine scratches but one of the extra fine scotchbrite pads made it look just like new!
I too have a bead blasted Tmod and like ST use it very hard with little maintenance and it looks about as good as it did when I got it.
Just don't think the "minor" imperfections show up as much with the blasted finish butttttt those imperfections are easily eliminated with the brushed finish.
Just found this dude from the Facebook group. He seems pretty cool and a huge following of fans. Here's his take:
Now that I look at that atty I was at one time interested in it but Tom the fish man told me I wouldn't like it cause it's too tall for me I believe. He knows what I like now better than I do. He's always right too. After scrubbing the kids vid just now I can confirm that. I had a marquis from Tom that I didn't like cause of the height and such deep juice wells. It was also a weird build for my tastes - much more vert coil friendly and homie doan play verts (ATM anyway). Thanks for the links brother
I never went by someone else's review on this or that atty, more so the design and aerodynamics of it, and for $175 there's just not anything there I haven't seen before on $60 atties,
So, I'm out
The Velocity is only 115 bucks.
I liked mine so much, that I bought a second one 2 days later.
Truly a work of engineering genius.

The Velocity is just too big for me, I didn't like tube mods and tanks for that same 'phallic' presentation,
if it's bigger then a Nuppin in diameter, it better have 'special pleasure' attachments, or I pass

À chacun son goût. (To each his own) For instance, I'm the only one that I know of sporting 9$ modified and pickled Triangles (AKA RM2 if they had come from Rob) on a Pinch, Dibi, Peko's, GDibi, GDNA's, and most likely a CC when my turn comes. Just haven't found an Atty that satisfies me like they do.
You sound like a flavor chaser, like me

Yep, the Chalice I borrowed from a member was about a wash but I can build a lot of Triangles for the cost of 1 Chalice.
A clear wrap, sized for your bare metal mod, is not going to fit after patina. You would have a 2-4mm gap due to the layering of the patina and clear coat. I would not recommend you skip the clear coat. First time you went to change out the wrap, you could lift some ink. Mark can give you more detail on this and probably explain it a lot better than I have.
