Pattern guide

The light wear Cerakote pattern

Light wear is battleworn's restrained sibling — the finish looks broken in rather than beaten up. Wear concentrates on edges and corners where real holster wear and handling would land.

How it sprays

Same two-coat approach as battleworn with a much lighter scuff pass. Good option for customers who like the worn look but want to keep it subtle.

Choosing colors

FDE or OD over black is the classic. Lower contrast between coats keeps the effect quiet.
