They're are actually powder coated not painted. Powder coating is far more durable. Basicly a process where the item is slightly magnetized , a powder is shot at it (which sticks), and then it's baked at high heat which melts the powder forming an even coat on the item. Far superior to paint. Just FYI.

Thank you, I knew they were powder coated but didn't really know what that meant. I have picked out my own colors and talked to Jay and he is going to do a custom job on mine, I just have to pay for the powder coat and have it sent to him.

I will for sure, it is killing me waiting to be able to order it but promised hubby I would be smoke free for 6 months before I spent money on a mod.

I know the feeling. You think the wait is killing you now, wait until it's ordered. Lol. I even minimized the special additions to make sure it wouldn't take too long even though I would have liked custom colors and etching. In any case it will still be an awesome 5v mod.

I've been emailing with Sara, they are waiting on the Mini bodies (any day... been ordered for weeks). Hopefully I'll get mine soon, I'm getting tired of my old MVS... I need a new toy :)

Wonder what's holding up the regular sized ones? Jays been absent here for a bit hope everything is ok.

All orders that went out were the last batch of regulars... mini backorders will be done next. Not sure the regular turn around from the machine shop, but the mini order is over 2 weeks old (I ordered mine in Dec knowing it was a 'pre order' and not being touched until mid Jan). As per Sara's email yesterday, they were calling the shop for status of the mini parts again today.

Waiting sucks, but they are on it... it'll come when it comes :)
(and of course the clear coating will hold mine up another couple days too)
