OK, so it is the ZenKote. 
I forget. What is the finish on the GMZs? Are they the ZenKoating?
What is this ruby red?
ProVari Mini 2.5 Ruby - Central Iowa Vapor

So if its such a tough finish, why treat like its butter? It's not making sense. Zen said the only matterial that was harder was a diamond.Beautiful, but place it carefully inside a bubble to protect it, and never let it breathe air. Burp too loud and it may scratch (same with the shiny purple, green, & blue). I think those were the only colors of that finish, but I can't say for sure.


I don't care for the satin silver sandblasted. Maybe the Gunmetal would do me. Hmmmm. Dang you all.
By the way DPLongo, I think I've lost a FB friend. One posted that all vaping is bad because its harmful for pets. I gave her an angry emoji.
I would never smoke or vape around a parrot, because I know their lungs are particularly sensitive to air toxins. A burnt Teflon skillet can kill them instantly. Dogs and cats, probably not.We just can't fix stupid, Bad. Unbelievable. My pets would disagree with her, just for the record.
Sorry - sometimes I lack clarity (or so @Katdarling tells me).
The two ZenKote finishes (Gold & Gunmetal), you can pretty much do whatever you wish with. They will not be harmed.
The original Satin Silver is also very tough, and I understand that's because they're media blasted.
The Ruby Red, Sangria Purple, (something) Green, and (something) Blue are NOT ZenKote. In fact, they may be the 2nd worse finishes I've ever seen, with only the P4Y IPY line worse. Maybe those two are tied - I'm not sure.
They're not cerakote either (like the Satin Blacks or fades). I don't know what they used. 99 Store nail polish, maybe?
All I know is that they scratch. A clear wrap will do just fine for any who love the colors, but don't want them mucked up.

Geeze Louise. Harsh much?


I'm certain that she knows I vape. My FB has been plaster with vape articles.Sorry to hear that, Bad. Friends seem to easily "disappear" these days, for one reason or another...
...it's PG and cats.
It was found that PG in cat food causes Heinz Body Anemia and was removed from cat food.
Vaping...so minimal. If you're worried, don't blow your vapor in your cat's face.
Had a blue and gold macaw and a goffin's cockato. Vaping around them never caused problems and their vet said no big deal either. They did die tho - of old age.
(I smoked cigarettes around the birds forever too...)

I would add that it's wrong to blow anything in the face of any animal.
Unless it involves pepper spray and a bear in the woods.

I did NOT know this, thanks Classy.
Interestingly, my kitty used to sit on my lap and always try to get in front of my exhales. I just kind of figured it might not be a brilliant idea, so I always blew it away from her, but she SO loved the smell.
Go figure.
