My only local kits distributor has a limited batch of slimline kits - black - but not gunmetal black as usually,but a really, brined-like black. I really like it over gunmetal
I agree that the appearance is nice. However, I wonder about the durability. As I recall, the finish used on those metal parts is an enamel. Many years ago, Craft Supplies published durability information in their catalog, and enamel was at the bottom of the list.
