Will the coating on the bright brass chip over time or get removed?

Hello, I have the lock since 5 month and it locks still good on outside and inside, even of the high humidity we have in Florida. Hope this will help you.

Hard to tell at the moment as it is new. It does look as if it will last well. On the outside the keypad is the only face that gets action with a rare use of the key on top. Similarly on the inside the open latch is the only thing that gets action. I expect it to perform well.

I have no idea, I know with their regular deadbolts the finish lasted for awhile.

I've only had this particular model for a couple months but have owned two other models and never experienced any chipping even in the northeast winters

I have no mildew with this coated rack and live in a very humid region of the country. I have owned it for two years. The white paint coating on the top five dowels is beginning to flake off. I use wooden clothespins.

I have had them installed for a couple of months and no black residue so far. There was actually black residue on the old brass hinges, but I think it was due to whatever lubricant the previous owner used.

I used the polish on a large brass tray that was bought in Spain. I cleaned and coated it probably close to a year ago. It looks beautiful and I have seen any change in it. I do not know about antioxidation and UV protection. Have you contacted the manufacturer? Sorry I cannot be of more help. Peggy

Had this one for six months of heavy use and it hasn't showed any signs of ware. It looks like rather than being powder coated, painted, etc.. it's anodized which should last damn near forever.

It would mar the finish, and leave it able to rust (I think) where it was engraved... Unless it were kept oiled maybe?

It appears to be coated...has a nice (not cheap) look & feel to the finish. I haven't had any chips.

You can use an SOS pad on the handle. It will take the tarnish off and make it shiny again.

I never heard of brass rusting out but call the manufacture and they should help you.

If it is brass it will darken the piece, solution has to be warm 140 degrees, and it should only take a few seconds to see a change

I am pretty sure the finish is a powder coat over the aluminum. As a rule you don't paint over powder coat. Powder coating is done in a shop only. Just mask off the area leaving only the chip showing and spray with a satin black Krylon or Rust-Oleum enamel.

Hornady has a cleaning solution for both Brass and parts. They are different.

Have used mine for two months and see no problem. Sometimes salt water or areas near salt water can effect metal finishes.

I think the dishwasher would eventually remove the coating. It's an easy clean up with a damp sponge and a little soap.

I am not sure. If it's brass I don't know if the color would throw off the glow. It will definitely ruin the instrument

The flexible PC portion of the LCD strip is copper and solders easily with my weller solder station. The strip is not water proof so there is no coating to remove on the pad. Hope this helps.

Yes. If you clean, inspect, size and reload the brass accordingly it will shoot like new.
