How hard is it to chip the color off the muyshondt aluminum? Is it prone to chipping/scratching the color off?

Enrique specifies HA III on the website, so it's of better quality than a lot of others, and more durable than, say, cerakote. It is a coating though, and will chip given enough effort. :) Welcome, by the way!

Type III can "wear" off with a lot of abrasion, but I wouldn't call it "chipping" like you would see with paint, or even cerakote. Good anodizing is surprisingly durable, and takes considerable contact with other hard items to show significant wear. I think you'd be pleased with it. Check out the "show your beat up light" thread for examples of worn finishes.

Unfortunately I dinged my Indigo Aeon at some point--put a tiny dot at the top next to the keyring. No idea how it got there. No real opinion on whether it's "better or worse" than any other Type III ano out there.
