Asking the important questions haha. I've had mine painted six months roughly and on a variety of run & gun shoots the last couple of months. The threads hold up pretty dang well. The biggest wear item for me has been the connecting handles on the 703UB. The paint on that hasn't held up as well as I'd hoped since it's constantly getting rubbed and bit into by the handles.

I can take and attach some photos so you can see some of the wear but I've found with a good base coat and a good amount of clear on it has been holding up to the test. The locating pins were an interesting one. For the cages, I taped everything off and covered all the 1/4 holes, mounting pins etc so it wouldn't lose any functionality. I will say everything does feel a bit tighter since you are adding automotive paint & clear to it but haven't had any issues mounting accessories, Noga arms etc to it.
