CZ75-Auto | Honey Paisley (Factory New)

Skin overview

CZ75-Auto | Honey Paisley is a Consumer Grade pistol finish with a gold paisley pattern over a wine-coloured base. In Factory New the paisley lines stay sharp and the deep red has no scuffs, so the textile look reads at its fullest. This is the grade for buyers who want the ornament exactly as painted.

Item type: pistol. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The sides of the slide, the frame and the long magazine are painted a deep wine red. A dense gold paisley ornament runs along the top of the slide and covers the frame around the trigger guard, giving the pistol a fabric-like look. The barrel, sights, hammer, trigger and slide stop are copper-toned, and the grip panels are a reddish brown with fine checkering. On worn copies the paint goes first on the muzzle, the slide edges, the corners and base of the magazine and the raised parts of the frame, where grey metal shows through the red.

The wine base is even and the gold paisley keeps every fine line. The magazine edges and the muzzle show no visible marks. At normal distance the gun reads as a clean red pistol with a bright gold band on top.
