Tec-9 | Isaac (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Isaac is a sci-fi custom paint job: a dark graphite body cut by bright red stripes, diagonal bands and small bracket-shaped marks. In Factory New the red lines keep sharp edges and full saturation, and the dark base stays even and matte. This is the grade where the contrast between the two colours is at its strongest.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole pistol is painted in a dark graphite grey with a slightly matte look. The perforated barrel shroud carries red accents between and around the holes, and red diagonal stripes run along the receiver toward the rear sight. The lower part of the receiver and the frame above the trigger have small red bracket marks and a thin red line, while the grip stays mostly dark. The magazine is grey with red corner markers and a broad red band near its base. On worn copies the paint goes first on the edges of the barrel shroud and its holes, the top of the receiver, the bottom edge of the magazine and the edges of the grip.

The paint is intact on every part, including the edges of the barrel shroud holes and the base of the magazine. Red stripes have crisp borders and the graphite base is uniform. In game at normal distance the pistol looks fresh and the red reads bright against the dark body.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black, white or holographic red stickers continue the scheme of Tec-9 | Isaac without breaking it. Placing them on the receiver along the red stripes or on the magazine near the red band keeps the composition tidy.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the red stripes show scuffs earlier than the dark base.
• Look at the barrel shroud holes and the magazine base, as these areas lose paint first.
• Make sure any applied stickers fit the red and graphite scheme, because mismatched colours stand out on this simple design.
• Decide whether you want the StatTrak™ or Souvenir version and check the name tag if one is applied.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the sharpest red lines and an even dark base.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean canvas for a red or black theme.
• In short: the version for those who value full contrast.
