I got my King Arts pedestal version today. And gotta say it pretty nice, but I do seem to have A lot of that coating issues (Looks like it was splashed on). I wonder if there is a way to fix this. Beside that and the leather straps looking and feeling very cheap (but this dont matter much to me since I wont be carrying it everywhere, just mostly for display) its a nice heavy shield.

"Maybe" a soft automotive buffer or wax..... Totally just a shot in the dark on my part though

Keep things civil, folks.

Is ES really important to the folks not getting this over the EFX?

Honestly it looks really good.......but I'm still convinced Lager made the best shield on the market right now. I get my Battle Damaged one tomorrow.

You got pics yet!?! This is the one I want to see!!!

Are you sure there's no ES? I really reading it a long time ago that they did have an ES. Unless something changed, they definitely talked about 'limiting' who got what, etc. etc. (Which to me sounded like an ES.) I could be wrong, but I know I read something. Obviously, they didn't label the pieces though.

Are the newest King Arts reviews coming soon?

Ugh...my shield is still stuck at the BBTS warehouse.

WHY YOU NO SHIP!?!?

NP Man, still trying to find a permanent place to disply it, but here some pics:




And in this last one I try to capture the defect with the finish, but it is hard to capture it:

Oh man thanks! This looks great! Can't wait to get mine. I can't even see any blemish on your shield.

I put pics up on the Lager thread.

I can see the defects in the silver and red. You have to be good at nitpicking to find them lol. I think this is a very good shield, if it can be had for $700, which prolly won't be the case unless a boardie sells one, I think it's a good price. I wouldn't pay more than that for this one though. The finish should be perfect when we are just dealing with a few colors. I don't think I've seen one without blemishes in the finish.

Look at how/where the light bends as it hits the shield and that will (I think) indicate where the paint/finish blemishes are.

Yeah, the coating defects are hard to photograph, because the shine of the light kinda hides it, and if you photograph with no light on, its hard for the camera to take a clear picture. Unfortunately its more noticeable in hand from 2 to 3 feet away, from a distance not that noticeable.
I look into that automotive buff thing you mention Matches malone, but Im not to familiar with how that works and am worried about ruining the finish even more.

Pretty much. This is a very, very good shield. Having said that the finish on it really holds it back from taking the crown. The paint color and application are very good but are not as pleasing to the eye as they should be (a little off color and a few rough spots). Having said that the clear coat is what kills this piece for me. It is too thick, accents paint blemishes or rough spots within itself and ultimately kills the "spun aluminum" look of the shield.

I have some decisions to make as the shipping and taxes in getting this one home are significant. Still a gorgeous piece, but, in hand, it doesn't appear to look anything like what I P.O.'d last year.
