Does the black color wear off?

I put it on my Triumph exhaust at least 3 years ago and it has an aged look, but not bad- still looks good for header wrap

Yes, heat from the exhaust will cause the paint to fade a bit over time. However, it's gradual and uniform (not patchy) and still looks nice. In fact, when I got my pipes re-wrapped, I chose not to paint the cloth tape the second time - I actually prefer this look better. This is also one of the better cloth tapes on the market. Hope this helps!

The color did begin to fade after about a thousand mile on my bike, but the can of high temp silicon it comes with helped freshen it up so that it looked new again.

I don't have the black on my bike but I know a few that do and so far the black stayed black and it is over two years now.

I have owned them for about a year and the part that touches my head is a dirty black color now, the rest looks good. Im not sure if dirt from my hair rubbed off onto them or if my hair rubbed off some of the white finish, but It will discolor after a while.

The one I bought was black....I don't know if they have changed it since then.

No, ive had mine on for over 6 months now it hasn't faded or rusted. Where i live there isn't much rain though but it has rained a few times and no rust. But they do get dirty a lot with the exhaust coming out of them, they turn black every once in a while but you can just wipe it off with a wet rag or anything else.

Mine is black and I have found it does not get dirty looking at all, sometime i see a fingerprints, same as i see on the glass front, but it wipes off very easily.

No. The black has never rubbed off of my Leatherman. Definitely NOT normal.

It does wear off after a while. I have mopped with bleach which stripped it for ne. They do make a product to remove it though.

I haven't noticed any black coming off, and it is as heavy as I would expect cast iron to be. I only use it to stir-fry veggies, but I'm very satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

Have only used black one and so far no problems. Tip remains as new with no tears or worn spots. Have used it everyday for at least three hours a day with no evidence of any wear.

Yes, definitely black. Just a fyi, there were some scuff marks, but it is a good item.

I do not own a pair in black, but I have had navy, coyote, and o.d.. The color seems to hold up quite well even after many washes, even without turning them inside out as is recommended in the wash instructions.

I have both the black and dark gray. They look true black to me. So far, no fading from washing and the pocket flaps stay flat. I usually wear black or FDE khakis, especially when I am in country. But they look like crap after several cycles through the wash and the pocket flats tend to curl, requiring a lot of ironing. So I switched to these TRU-SPECs and I've been happy since. I like the rip-stop material also.

The I have is black. I have had it for a while now, but vaguely remember that question being asked back then also.

No, mine isn't black, it's a beautiful bronze color. No problem with spots.

I have the black and it does scratch fairly easily. But I am kind of rough on it.

Not really. I've had my black case for about a week and after looking very closely to it there are very little scratches on it. This case does not scratch that easily and is sure to last a good amount of time!
