I have my Bullet stripped down and I cant decide which color would be best on it. I have a Powder Coating shop next door and they say they can do it but I can't decide which color? I thought Army Green at first or maybe Brown. What color would look cool on a Bullet. You can get orange ,green,white black,silver vein,polished alum/chrome . So those are out of the question... Looking for some feedback and ideas before I decide. Red?

Personally I think electric blue would be really cool. In fact just today I requested that Altsmoke should make some in that color. But that's my personal opinion.

Take a look at Tiger Drylac special effects candy blue or look at their metallics
My Silver Bullets is of all things SILVER, mirror bright, shiny, surgical instrument perfect, just the way it is.
My Bullet is needing a paint job.And is still perfect the way it is as well. But I want mine to be unique and those shiney
silver ones are pretty but they just look too nice to vape on the run or on the job. I didnt opt for the pretty one because I knew I was going to customize it when I bought it.The silver is one of the finest looking PV's I have seen though.
I want mine to look mean and strictly business . So thats why I have elected to change its personality.
I have heard that the finish can tarnish on the polished ones requiring a polish job every so often.Has yours ever gotten the dull tarnish effect? Then ...I heard that the newer ones have a coating that will not do that.
Well...shine on brother. Me I am looking for realtree powdercoating or at least OD green.

Out of curiosity what did they quote for the powdercoating? Mine is pretty tarnished at this point (I never really kept up with polishing it), and am also considering this. I posted in altsmoke's questions sticky to see if they offer an aftermarket powdercoating, but it would be easier to do it locally.
Anywho.....I'd go with olive drab. That would really kick .... Plus, in OD, it would look even better with mud on it. It'd also be pretty cool if you could get a digi camo effect done.

The other reason I'm wanting to powdercoat it is because I left juice seepage at the atty connector and it did this:
Of course, that's someone else's SB, but mine looks very similar.
Does anyone know if the powdercoating stands up to this type of abuse better? I had only been vaping for 2 months when I got the SB and abused it a bit. Now that I know what I'm doing, it shouldn't get any worse, but I still think I'd prefer the powdercoating.

I paid 25 bucks to have mine done. I did the work my self and just sent the body to Performance Powder Works in Royse City,Tx.
I recommend them to anyone. They have a website. The only problem is that when you order powder its expensive and they dont sell micro amounts . It only takes a handful of powder to coat the Bullet. Its about a hundred bucks to order OD green powder. If you were coating serveral of them it would be practical. But to just coat one I didnt want to spend that much. So,I just picked from the colors they had in stock .

25$ is actually a great deal. For prep work, I'm assuming I'd have to sand off the silver coating and remove the internals from the cap. How finely does it have to be sanded, and is there a video showing how to disassemble the cap? I tried searching on youtube, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks.
Thanks.
