Evilshadow[501st] Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi guys, after 2 way too long years I've come back here, and I have a doubt. I have been offered both gloss and matte abs finish, what do you like the most? I'm really hooked by the matte one, but I'm not quite sure if it would be valid in this variation for specialist... I've got for now cummerbund, boots, vest and overall Best Regards! And hope you all are doing alright! Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 we have matte here in the Garrison and it looks GREAT. From my persepctive it shows less in the way of scuffing than gloss does, since even a satin will show almost every scuff. I have a custum costume I completed last year and painted it satin black and it shows scuffing pretty easily. My option would be (IF ALLOWED) a dead matte flat. 2 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 ^I concur with the matte, the only thing it'll show more of is fingerprint and oils but easier to get rid of than scratches. My gloss shadow stormtrooper looked beat to hell about after the 4th trooper ? 2 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I just checked and the armor has to be gloss or semi-gloss, so I guess semi-gloss is going to be the closest to the matte. Link to comment
Evilshadow[501st] Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Let's go then, here you have what it does look like moreless : 2 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 There is something of a sheen diference between Semigloss and Satin. I prefer satin on everything, use it all the time, and OVER TIME it kind of dulls down. But it also shows scuffs. All my black helmets (other than TIE) are painted Rustoleum2x Satin Canyon Black. 1 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 From the looks of it I'd say that black is good on that helmet, because it does have that sheen. @Evilshadow @Blackwatch totally agree there, the weathering in my opinion is definitely better with the satin. Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 mine arent wethered in the typical way, but my Gunner, Navy Trooper and new Sapper definitely show use (and abuse like getting freaking NAILED by lightsabers in my helmets) 1 Link to comment
Evilshadow[501st] Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 They tag it as matte finish, but I'm almost sure that is a shiny matte https://www.facebook.com/infoAFProps/posts/2184544045155712?__xts__[0]=68.ARDFwjKgj25PHqzSkyYYmKOmiB206Boe2oRGEydv3sN-N9bwkXWrTPSAtUNg03rwyGvyB6pDrb26m-2KKG-IovZ-0HHjHRdeD0OztFogIHvNVikaegg-J7P1LSbohLevOEFDXXZv6O9V1XijQjQHoWTCZ3yHjM_c7kZC3TSBW-gIVq-S_joEbjZ5F_GZX8kFqt2w7qFxer5mzooKVI6kYZuYZBoVMi7XxAOCXO9j1KUed0S3LATZ4OD4-kKnk47Kw0dHWQNUL40zvV2v8P-gCknuwqxk89NRhMpdilB3ALpHEsCCP5cfEcgZGeZ2p_p80YihtrK_gy1hJoBghMwi_IZ5vUye&__tn__=-R 1 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think it looks great! Should be fine. ? Link to comment
RAIDER[COTG] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Current CRL does read semi-gloss or gloss. This has been much debated in other threads and in back-end CRL team discussions in the past. That said...it is tough to distinguish semi-gloss vs. satin in approval pictures...and though they are 2 different sheens some people use the terms interchangeably because they are very similar. You can check out this proposal here, however, which @furiosa and I drafted up earlier last term to align (though not completely) our Shadow Scout w/ the Pathfinder's TB CRL. https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/6057-proposed-crl-update-shadow-scout-not-yet-active/ You should notice the color adjustment would include matte and satin officially. There are also some strapping measurement adjustments for Level 2 (particularly shoulders, upper arms, side chest/back). We just haven't had any community feedback (hint hint drop some lol), to push it forward to the LMOs yet. She and I plan on giving it a hard look though and presenting it once the new LMO team settles in. I can't give you a timeline though on when it would be approved and published or if it will even be approved for that matter...but a heads up that it's been worked on COULD change the standards for Level 2 in the near future. P.S. There's also a similar "in limbo" proposal for Swamp Scouts as well...and we plan on drafting up a General Weir update too to close out the scout updates. 2 Link to comment
Evilshadow[501st] Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Nice! Fingers crossed, I've been talking with them and they stated that matte is matte, even having those shines, Should I go then into the gloss one? I'm really into the matte one, but crl is crl... Best regards! Link to comment

RAIDER[COTG] Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yes matte is matte. You can discuss with your GML I suppose and get their feedback. I don't want to say "yes" and then you have to wait indefinitely till the update is published. Sorry I don't have a better answer at this time. 2 Link to comment
Evilshadow[501st] Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I've already asked my local GML and I'm waiting for the reply, If not I'll be picking the gloss one, the thing I'm not sure if it is easier to maintain as the matte is. Best regards! 1 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Totally agree there, the GML is ultimately going to be the yes or no. Let us know! ? 1 Link to comment
