I can't see the pictures on my IPhone? Hopefully, I will be home in an hour to see the pictures? I'm working late so I can take tomorrow off and buy aSPY 007 XP-G.

Oh my goodness. Please put me down for one!
Dave would it be possible for you to post a pic that has both finishes next to a regular finish for comparison. I am having trouble making up my mind on finish!
thx

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. A natural finish gunner grip might be interesting.

Dave, why did you do this!Gunner grip and stonewash is to great a combo to resist. I'll take one - bright white, stonewashed and gunner grip. Take your time. :thumbsup:

I am interested in one in Neutral White. Would like to see the possibility of maybe a natural finish edition if it could be done...

Dave,
I'm thinking the same thing Launch Mini and Proline are, would you concider a natural finish gunner grip?
Thanks

The blasting takes the shiny divots away and the tumbling rounds the entire structure into a very slick shape that feels great has a super look. Of course I did not invent this, I just invested enough time to come up with my version of it that I think works on this flashlight.
I do not know if some variation of this would look and feel good without the other processing.
Cheers
Dave

Sorry to introduce yet another variable Dave, but would it be possible, with theGunner Grip option, to protect the flat surface of the tail cap from the bead blasting and tumbling so as to retain the beautiful milled stripes?

Lordy but am I slow on the gun here! Yikes, just saw this! :shakehead Nice, nice VERY nice! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I'm approximating Old Mother Hubbard right now though so, I'll leave all these for the deserving gentlemen (and ladies!) of the viewership....at least for now....
Oh, by the way, I prefer the bead blasted finish myself being a more polished fellow that I am.... :duh2: :sick2:
Hmmm....I wonder what my Jetta will fetch on the used car market....???

The processing does not take that feature away completely. In fact I think it still looks good. I will take some pics of that soon.
I started machining the Gunner Grip bodies that you all have requested. Plus a few more junk bodies to refine the finishing process just a little more. I will have more to show you all and there will be options for everybody to look at soon.
This will not take long as I am keeping this on the fast track and I am hoping we will all have fun with it too.
Cheers
Dave

Additional request - and sorry to be a pain - but I would like my emitter to be a 5A/B/C tint XP-G. The 3A/B/C tints are still to cool for me. Is this possible? They should be readily available in a R4 flux bin just like the 3X tint ones.
Edit - please cancel this request - the more I play with the current neutral tint, the more I am liking it. I don't know if I would consider it truly neutral - or more pure white - but it's looking really good to my eyes.
Oye - I'm being fickle. :duh2:

Hey Dave,
In your experience which of the 2 finishes resists scratches better? Also any chance of some more pictures of the bead blasted finish? :naughty:
Thanks!!
Oh also, are these babies going to have the tactile clicks or soft clicks?
