    Neotat is anodized not painted. Have you tried contacting them?

    I had some tubes that were a little snug for the opening on my neotats and it rubbed some of the annodizing off - but it's only on the inside of the hole where tube tails are inserted. To me it's just cosmetic and it isn't like chipping paint that will affect the rest of my machine as more and more flakes off. Personally, I figured it would happen and it doesn't really bother me, but maybe we are talking about different things?
    Not too bad for a GIRL, eh?

    Anodizing is a very strong durable finish, stronger than paint, its a sped up oxidation of the metal using dyes and electrodes. My guess is that the machine had surface oils or something that hindered the bond during the electrolytic process. Ray might want to check that part of the assembly to see whats fouling the machine before it goes in the bath for anodizing, some colors are much harder to use in the process than others of course a bad mix, loose electrode, or length in the bath could cause this as well, but wouldn't appear as a chip or a single spot, but a fouled spot on the surface would.

    Don't think catching it with the needlebar will scrape paint off. Sounds like it's wear and tear from your tube tails. They might have sharp edges that are scratching the annodizing off the inside of the chuck when you insert and remove them.

    We could all stop guessing with a photo... Care to post one? I am pretty certain that no matter what the issue is that they will do the best to help if you contact them.

    dropped a message to rays team this morning let you know what i get back.were the marks are is further up from chuck along edges of body,only used twice so wear and tear should not be a issue yet ,the marks are not massive yet that's why wondering what machine will be looking like in 12 months.don't just throw it on to tray or any thing heavy handed like i say been treating it with kid gloves.see what i get back from rays team no joy will chuck a photo on hear.love the bishop for line work that's had a lot more hammer and no probs with that at all .

    Anodizing does not "chip" so unless you are referring to a scratch then it may not be an original Neotat. Pictures would definitely help.
