Red Powder coat Samples

Update #4 · May 11, 2012 · 40 comments

Here they are! The red powder coat samples came in and I assembled them this afternoon. The hook took the powder as I expected- since the type is so small, some of the letters got filled in. However, this creates a nice 40's/50's look which I really like, and will look amazing as the paint chips away with time. It'll be a modern day antique!  I'm still deciding on whether or not to do them, I'd love some input and your thoughts.

      That red looks fantastic, and it would be my first choice for a color if it were option.

      I think its a great option for those who aren't fans of the distressed look, but I love both!

      Red looks amazing. By far my favorite color choice.

      The red powder coat looks awesome, I would prefer one of those over the pewter or copper. Ha, let me know if that's a possibility.

      This already feels like an antique quality piece, this will just add to the charm. definitely do it!

      These look amazing. And they remind me of my current key holder: a bottle opener from Disney World that is shaped like Mickey Mouse and has a red powder coat. In the beginning, I hated it, but carried it around for the convenience of a bottle opener. Now that the paint is all chipped, it kind of grew into me... But these already look great brand new! Do them, definitely!

      I Love the red. I already pledged for the limited edition. Can I also pledge for the red, if so should I just increase my pledge amount or choose a different pledge level? Thanks.

      Roland, I appreciate your concern! As I posted in my last update, I've got a bunch of experience shipping a whole ton of packages (2,000-2,500 in a month's time, twice in the past year) so fulfillment won't be an issue! Lots of people requested the red, so I wanted to make sure if it was possible it was an option.

      Creator Jason Hamilton on May 11, 2012

      Red looks great. I'll be requesting a red and a pewter if they're avaiable

      Love the bottle openers and happily contributed. Since you've met the goal, I think you need to watch the line where Kickstarter ends and using it as a store begins. Delivery should be the focus.

      Creator Ray Wendolowski on May 11, 2012

      I was drawn in by the copper, but I gotta say I like the red way better. Please make them!

    20. Missing_small

      Creator John on May 11, 2012

      I probably get another if you do the red

      I, for one, would definitely up my pledge from 36 to 68 to get copper and red.

      The red looks great, is it paint or powder coating??

    27. Teddy.small

      Creator claudia on May 11, 2012

      Can you possible beat one of the red ones up a little to see how it looks once the paint chips away? Looks a bit too perfect for me at the moment.

      Creator Neil Grabowsky on May 11, 2012

      I love it. My first choice.

      i prefer this color==1st choice

    32. Missing_small

      Creator Daniel West on May 11, 2012

      I like the red/copper better than the copper/copper and pewter/copper, but I have a feeling that I'll just get the pewter and swap out the split rings for steel or titanium ones. But red is a possibility; it depends how I feel when I need to make a decision.

      Creator Eric Heins on May 11, 2012

      Thanks guys. Will- this wouldn't be an option with the green cordovan.

    34. Missing_small

      Creator Dante Graziose on May 11, 2012

      I dig the red. Would be amazing if it was over the copper, but either way the wear would look great.

    35. Missing_small

      Creator Josh LaFayette on May 11, 2012

      OMG YES. I would choose that one in a heartbeat. I agree about the paint chipping away—that would be rad. ...also, I'm not getting the green leather tag :D

    36. Missing_small

      Creator Sunny Donn on May 11, 2012

      This would be a first choice color for me

      Creator Will on May 11, 2012

      Looks really neat! I'll stick with the copper for now, but this would be my second choice over the pewter. If it were described as a "limited" run, I'd probably be suckered in to it, haha.

      Creator William Kunz on May 11, 2012

      meh, with the green leather it would look too christmasy
