yup X-metal is really dark when its low-light conditions.. and goes quite pale in the bright sun! i think vintage X-metal has the more "rough" look.. mm industrial
yeah definitely.. i always clean secondhand pairs thoroughly once i get them. good thing about X-Metal is its perfectly happy in water and soap.. then i'll just get the hairdryer onto it after.. all good!
Nice! So what's the actual serial number? 8000 or 8?
Yea these things are built like tanks. I had a few white marks on my 1st gen I got from oakleyandi and I used steel wool to buff it out lol.
No swirl marks, SpliceD did it as well and his turned out fine. I don't know if my particular one was raw metal but yea nothing rubbed off when I buffed it out.
yeah the x-metal finish is actually raw. same for polished.. although i have a feeling plasma was coated..
Yea plasma is coated because my 1st gen plasma/blue has a few chips in it and it looks like x metal underneath.
explains the tarnishing.. i still reckon raw X-metal is the way to go. love it
