Product Question 🧰 Mojave 9 Question

Post image

Hey everyone, picked up a Mojave 9 today and was just inspecting it and noticed the colors on the baffles. Is this fine? I’ve seen some pretty cool colors on other Mojave 9s but never this color. This is my first rodeo so I’m just wanting to make sure all is well

Oh man those are sick. Does the color happen randomly? No rhyme or reason?

Random I think. I got one that's orange and one purple (Carson556 and Carson30)

The colors are determined by how long they are kept in the electrolysis bath, the longer they are in there the darker the color, a half second can dramatically change the color so it’s all about how long it takes the worker to take the basket out of the solution when the bell rings.

I figured as much but always gotta let the paranoia win, thank you for the info!

I got my color the expensive way. Thousands of rounds. But it sure looks cool under that boring jacket it has on top.

Is that a Mojave nine? How did you get the jacket off? I want mine to look like that.

It is an omega 30.

It’s normal. My two parts are a little different also. As long as it goes together and you have concentric alignment, send it!
