Annodizing???

[Badger]

Guys when looking at the mambas it is hard for me to decide what kind of finish i want and I think I will make my decision based on which scratches easier....dust or glossy? If they do get scratches, which one will they show on the worst? All you cobra owners help me out on this one.......also that 'tattoo' that they advertise.....not sure if i like it.......is it part of the annodizing or just a sticker that I can peel off?

the 'tattoo' is a mask.....it's placed on there before the dusting process is done and it does not come off, it is a permanent part of the marker (basically they cut a design out and tape it to the marker then do the dust finish and pull design off so it stays there)

I don't have a cobra, but I do have a C+C dust. I have found the dust finish to hold up very nicely. Someone thought I got it for Christmas when I brought it into a shop in december- I've had it since summer.
