    Another update:

    The BCG will be from the special "spade logo" group buy from Fathom Arms back in early 2016. I purchased both the standard and the enhanced BCG and both of them are still new in box. Thinking I will give the enhanced one the first shot so to speak since Battle Kitty will be running suppressed.

    I would definitely like to get the WEVO emblem included somewhere within the cerakote job if that is okay?

    Leaning towards woodland camo with a subdued WEVO logo discreetly placed. I reached out to Mike at BDL via email this morning.

    And thanks again GOST! Really enjoying this although my wife has demanded another Glock 26 for herself that she gets to have cerakoted since my Battle Kitty cerakote choice wasn't one she agreed with. Best damn bargaining I have ever pulled off

    Why take one of Axlenut's camos? Guy is just getting his branding out and you're gonna take one of his patterns to BDL?

    BDL had his own patterns and if none of those fit, I'm sure he'd come up with something unique. I mean, if you're having him do it don't cramp his style.

    That's my opinion.

    Look at his "tropic thunder" multicam. I freaking love it. Do that in woodland colors?

    While I have not 100% decided upon what I want to do nor spoke with Mike at BDL yet I HAVE discussed it with Kris (Axlnut) at length via PM and he is very cool with it if I went that direction and had no issues at all. In fact he was gracious enough to offer to do it for free just like BDL but I didn't want to rock the boat nor step on any toes with such an awesome giveaway package.

    Thanks for the other suggestions as well.

    Don't thank me, the Roof Korean is responsible for all the goodies. UW is also the one you'll want to contact about using the WEVO logo.

    2016 WEVO Battle Kitty Giveaway - Build Thread

    I would not do the subdued WEVO logo since that is the current offering with discount from Axlnut. If you want his camo, you should have him do it. It's a general unspoken courtesy to not ask one painter to copy another painter.

    My opinion: don't do camo. Make it a real battle kitty theme. You already have the WEVO logo engraved on the kitty. No need for another. Maybe GOST would let you use his new kitty engraving graphic (the one offered for the SMOS lower with the kitty around the trigger pins) cause that would be SICK on this lower. That, to me, would really set the whole thing apart and keep the theme going. Then BDL can add the flair as he recommends. Mike is good at themes and that's what I'd use him for.

    When it's done, send to Rainier for TRIGGERCON to put in their booth to advertise the forum. :)

    It would be cool to do a theme design and send it off for triggercon if one had a multitude of rifles, BUT if this is just one of a few, then I feel making it as practical as possible is very important, IMO

    Paying close attention to your opinion and comments Sir as I like them. I posted this thread looking for insight/help as this is a first for me, as stated in my OP. Thank you.

    I feel like I need to throw in here, as I bear some responsibility for the coating drama. I messaged MCA out of the public view originally, for that reason.

    I probably also bitched a bit to my good friends and customers from the board, some of whom chimed in - that's my whole thing with this place, I don't have good friends from other boards, nor know many that would look out for my interests like that.

    To make things clear, MCA, the whole thing with the cerakote boils down to a few points. This place was the first that saw MY interpretation of woodland, the colors and pattern, besides one other person... Mike from BDL. Mike is a good friend and actually gave feedback on how he would do it differently, and indeed he does do it differently. In the cerakote world, for those of us who try to elevate it to an art, we are all constantly compared to BDL. When we can do something to differentiate ourselves, that people respond well to - we want to guard it. My woodland is one of those things. I post it to my 1100 IG fans, I get a job or two. If Mike mimics my hand cut patterns and colors and posts it to his 150k - it becomes his.

    The other thing with the woodland/subdued wevo logo, that's something I've been offering here at a significant discount as a way of saying thanks for being awesome WEVO, and again - it sets me apart.

    Those are the whys.

    At the end of it though, I want no drama screwing up what should be an exciting time for you, building out your rifle. I made my offer and respect your decision to decline, and understand. Hopefully the air is now clear and you can move on selecting all of your parts and finish.

    Then those with battle kitties need to step it up!

    Man, I had NO idea that me publicly stating that I really liked and wanted someone's cerakote woodland camo pattern would turn into something like this. As I stated in my OP, this is my very first build. I really didn't even know what cerakote was until this giveaway.

    I truly am at a loss for words here guys and not feeling really good about any of this anymore. I simply thought I won something awesome, was thankful and gracious for it, and could choose to have a cerakote pattern done that I liked. Hell, I'm selling one of my three rifles and a pistol just to do this WEVO Battle Kitty build justice and buy the best parts I can afford.

    Happy New Years WEVO....

    Well this escalated quickly. I'll let UW chime in... but I will say it's your rifle do as you see fit! Congrats and enjoy.

    I've only been able to skim over this, but here are a few thoughts.

    First, MCA, feel free to use our logo on your gun as you wish for this build.

    Second, and this is just me talking... as a general statement. I wouldn't ask anyone to replicate something someone else created even if it's just a variation. Doing on a one off may not seem like a big deal but that's like asking someone to create someone else's roll mark on their own branded lower.

    I blame Putin for this Cerakote predicament.

    Multicam is a trademarked pattern and people replicate the hell out of it, even if it's a slight variation of the real thing. No one seems to have an issue with that.
