Your Questions Answered
Is the red color very bright?
No. The "Red-Slate" Cerakote is a muted, earthy tone. It's more of a burgundy or brick-red with a flat, non-reflective texture. It provides contrast without being overly conspicuous.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires a Torx driver (size T10 or T15, included with hardware). We recommend using a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's specified inch-pounds for the mounting screws to avoid overtightening.
Does this come with a warranty?
Yes. It is covered by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us for warranty processing if an issue arises.
