Need a comparison please

The time has finally come for my second REO yippee!
Black Wrinkle ...or ...Silver Vein ...or ...Hammer Tone???
I'm having a hard time deciding and was wondering if anyone has all 3 and could post side by side pics..

 

[pdib]

No.




but hammertone.

Silver hammertone and black wrinkle with the doors swapped

I've been leaning to Hammertone. Thanks super_X that really helps.

Black Wrinkle

Silver Vein

Copper vein is the bizness. Jus' sayin'...

 

[irehc77]

Hmmmmm I have always wanted the copper tone. Think it is so sexy looking. Both for males and females. Whichever you decide I know you won't be disappointed.

i got a copper vein a couple of weeks ago and to stop it from losing its finish the first thing i did was take it to pieces and put two coats of clear polyurethane on it. I have used it all last week (since my black beater grand is at Robs for a pre-Xmas facelift) and I'll post a pic of it in a few weeks time along with one taken when new to see if it worked.

Black Wrinkle is very pretty, but seems to wear pretty easily, I assume the other paints do as well. Anodized for me from now on My anodized silver Grand's fist birthday is tomorrow, and it looks brand new still.

Nerak thanks! That really helps. I'm thinking I'm going with the Hammertone. My fist REO is a Copper Vein and it is indeed sexy. I just couldn't quite tell how dark they are or really compare to each other on the website. How does the texture compare on the Hammertone to the Copper vein? Looks about the same from the pics.

That would be great to see pics. I always keep my Reo's in Karen's cozies and that help protect the finishes. But someday will own a copper vein!

I noticed mine has darkened quite a bit, I guess from hand oils & such. I've tried scrubbing it but doesn't seem to come off. (shrug) gives it character. I did drop it & scuff up the corner a little and fixed it with a dab of black fingernail polish. Worked really well.

The Hammertone finish is really glossy. A smooth feel but you feel the bumps. Tough to describe. The Copper Vein I think is a little less slick feeling. Not too much difference between the two. Both give more of a grab texture than anodized.

The Black Wrinkle is more tactile. I think it feels like a very fine grit sand paper. Smooth, but more non-slip feel.

Thanks for all your help. I thought you might have all 3. You have all the cool toys.

Solution to your problem: black wrinkle with a matching door plus a hammer tone door plus a copper vein door.


You're welcome.

You're welcome.

I agree completely, except that the hammertone body is a must, and the hammertone door. Aside from that, what ▲ he said

 

[MamaTried]

i've had hammertone lust ever since super_X first posted pics of his. like sxd, i'm trying to hold off for a blem...




... but they are getting pretty blue

 

[supertrunker]

If you wait for a blemished Woodvil in the same casual fashion, then sale night might not go too well for you! I find that when something is on the site you have to pile in there fast else someone else will.

I will remind you

I have a black wrinkle and use it all the time with no wear on the paint. I love the soft texture
