StatTrak™ SG 553 | Aerial (Factory New)

Skin overview

SG 553 | Aerial is a Mil-Spec rifle finish in silver and yellow, with a white wing decal as its signature detail. In Factory New the silver panels look even and smooth, and the yellow accents stay sharp against the dark parts of the receiver. This is the grade for buyers who want the decal and the colour blocks exactly as they were designed.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and the long handguard are finished in light silver, with a row of yellow and orange ribs running along the handguard rails. The upper part of the receiver and the scope are darker grey and black, which frames the lighter panels.

The silver panels are clean and even, with no scuffs on the handguard or magazine. The yellow ribs and the white wing on the stock keep full saturation and sharp edges. In game the rifle looks bright and uniform at any distance. Every part of the finish looks as designed.

Stickers and crafts

Yellow, orange, white and silver stickers follow the skin's palette and sit well on the light handguard. Aviation or wing themes match the decal on the stock, while dark stickers work best on the grey upper receiver for contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since lower values keep the silver panels cleaner.
• Look at the white wing decal on the stock, as its condition defines how the skin reads on worn copies.
• Inspect the handguard edges and magazine corners, which are the first places to lose paint.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change the look and do not always match the light colour scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the silver panels and wing decal without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean light base for their placements.
• The choice for buyers who value a flawless finish.
