The X-MAN Customs Corner

I'm not entirely sure, but if the "Stealth" is cerakote, I believe it is straight Graphite Black H-146Q. It's an awesome color.

I could be wrong, because he could use a custom blend with another black (Armor Black H-190Q).

You need a flat black paint or a flat clear coat over my stealth black. I use a satin black cerakote but they also make a mat that is really flat. But I think it gets kind of chalky with handling with your fingers and scratches.

What’s the best way to package my Juliets for shipment?

Inside a microfibre bag inside a small box?

Most people ship them from United States Postal Service in a small flat rate box

A small flat rate box is like $7 something. You can first class it for $2.61. The difference is that with first class you can use whatever box so there is more room than the small flat rate box. I don’t think there is enough room to properly protect a pair in one of those. On the flip side, the small flat rate box comes with $50 insurance which obviously doesn’t cover your glasses but you can buy more.

Just don't use saran wrap and nothing else.

Thanks for the responses. I’m shipping from Canada so it will be slightly different.

Marking the customs form as repair should prevent any duty being charged, right?

And a question about a pair of Gen 1 bone plasma Juliets. If I get the blast refinish done will they still have the issues with discolouration from sweat/oil? Was that issue with a coating Oakley used or a fundamental issue with the xmetal alloy? Am I better off going for Ti O2?
