Greetings,

A while back when I got my Elzetta Charlie I was planning on having it Cerakoted. More specifically, I wanted the high-temperture heat-cured cerakote as it is more durable. But alas when my Charlie arrived I discovered that the electronics couldn't be easily removed from the housing (that is a BEEFY snapping by the way!). I was fearful of exposing the electronics to the heat of curing, so I skipped the Cerakote.

Question: Is there any possibility that you might do a cerakoted Charlie in the future? I know that one person wanting one isn't sufficient business justification for you to do so; I just want to know if I should keep periodically checking your website in case you decide to do a batch.

FYI I know that you did an FDE run of the original 230-lumen, but I much prefer the Charlie  :-)

Black Dove Customs in Shelbyville did a bravo model for me.  I removed the tailcap switch using a pair of pointed needlenose pliers (it rotates right out). It was a ZFL-M60 model so the lamp assembly came right out. The new AVS heads do not appear to come apart.

PS - Ricco does great work.

No plans for factory Cerakote at this time but one never knows what the future holds.

Thanks guys. Yes, I've heard that Ricco at Black Dove does do outstanding work. He was going to do my new Charlie but we had to cancel when I discovered the lamp wouldn't come out of the head on the new 650/900 lumen models.
