Skin overview
The look of Nova | Candy Apple rests on solid spray-painted parts in red and black, with no pattern to hide behind. In Minimal Wear the red still dominates the rear half of the gun, and any marks stay small and close to the edges. From a normal viewing distance it reads almost the same as a fresh copy.
Item type: shotgun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.
Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.
Other qualities of this skin: Factory New and Field-Tested.
How the skin looks in Minimal Wear
The receiver, stock and front sight are painted solid bright red, while the barrel, magazine tube and ribbed pump forend stay dark gunmetal. The stock carries a ribbed grip section, also in red, and the trigger guard area is dark.
Small light marks may appear on the very edges of the stock, the butt and the raised ribs of the grip. The flat red surfaces of the receiver and stock remain clean. The barrel and pump look practically untouched. At normal distance the gun reads as fresh.

Which stickers suit it
Black, white and red stickers keep the clean two-tone scheme intact. Placing them on the dark barrel gives better contrast than on the red receiver, where red stickers would blend in.
What to look at before you buy
- Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a flat solid colour shows every chip.
- Look at the stock edges, butt and grip ribs, which lose paint first.
- Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so check whether they fit the look you want.
- Note any name tag, as it stays visible next to such a plain finish.
Who should buy Minimal Wear
- Players who want a near-new look without chasing the top grade.
- Sticker crafters who need a clean base.
- A sensible middle option.
