Souvenir SG 553 | Aloha (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Aloha finish pairs a muted dark-violet coat with cyan floral prints spread across the whole SG 553. At Minimal Wear the difference from a fresh copy is limited to a few small marks on sharp edges, which are hard to spot in the inspect view and practically invisible in a match. It is a sensible choice for a nearly clean look at a lower grade.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The whole rifle is coated in a dark slate-violet paint with a darker, mottled texture. Cyan and light-blue hibiscus prints are scattered over the ribbed handguard, the receiver, the curved magazine and the stock, with smaller accents on the scope and pistol grip.

Tiny chips may appear on the sharpest edges, such as the handguard rails and the magazine lip. The flower prints and the base colour are otherwise untouched. At normal distance in game it looks the same as Factory New. The receiver, stock and scope stay clean.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in cyan, light blue or white match the flower prints, while holo and foil stickers with cool tones stand out well against the dark base. The flat side of the receiver gives the cleanest placement area.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in a worn grade keeps more of the flower prints.
• Inspect the handguard rails and magazine edges first, as these lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at the stock ribs and the top of the receiver on Field-Tested and lower copies.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they fit the dark blue colour scheme.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean-looking rifle in matches without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the few edge marks do not affect sticker areas.
• Practically the same look as new, at a lower grade.
