Waiting for the HS507k to come out, but man I think they're ugly with "Holosun" all over it in big white letters.

Anybody ever tried cerokoting, or painting small red dots like that?? Any success? Seems iffy

Yes, I've don't it several times. Just tape up the lens well and led/laser. If you heat cure do it at 150 (your truck gets that hot inside in the summer) and all will be fine. I've only done name brand ones like trijicon/aimpoint etc... The cheaper ones should be fine as well.

Just read what you are getting. I actually did a holosun to cover the white logo. I have pics at work

Blowndeadline did an Aimpoint T2 for me. Still perfect.

If you don't use someone local, I am happy to help (I have worked with several arfcomers). If you have rubber on it, that will not adhere perfectly. Here some I did I grabbed at random:
