Just got a one drop reboot, tried a thumb grind, then after noticed paint on my thumbnail from the yoyo. Is this normal? Ive done the thumb grind with multiple other yo-yos and this has never happened to me before. ---

You must be getting extra sick with it! Whats the coating? Is it anodized or cerakote? ---

That’s what I was thinking. I’ve heard of cerakote chipping/transferring. I can’t imagine ano would do that. I could be wrong though. ---

I had this happen with a General Yo Majesty way back in the day. The ano just kind of rubbed off in the cups… The oxidization layer didn’t form I guess. ---

I had this happen with the YYF spotlight 1st run. It was really bad. One thumb grind and the entire tip of my thumb was covered in paint. I wish I took a picture. ---

Not exactly chipping away but I’ve had the anno wear away over the course of years with my OG YYF Superstar. ![1000013654](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/9/34929403d92fd59f3fd4c3899cc95019883422c2.jpeg) I think at a certain point if you do thumb grinds regularly it’ll just inherently start to wear away given you’re essentially scratching the anno with your nail, but it shouldn’t really be happening that quickly I don’t think. ---

It should not be happening at all…the ano should be harder than the nail. Or be imbedded in the Aluminium which is also harder than the nail. ---

This is accurate. One of the reasons I avoid 7075 alloy, especially on non blasted bodies. ---

Depends on how you messaged Jake. Did you email g2 or try to message him here or on Facebook/insta cause he don’t check those messages. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/paint-peeling-off-on-thumb-grinds/411376.md?page=2)
