A standard flashlight painted with a yellow paint is a special edition?
My question is:
Can a high/low switch be screwed into a clicky tailcap? If so then the special edition high/low is just a tailcap-guts swap away.

A flashlight with the words "special edition" electro-pencil'd by the factory onto the body can be considered a special edition. I'd say this one qualifies as well.
In this example, in addition to the yellow Cerakote finish (not paint), it has the bezel that is otherwise unique to the he Mini-CQB light.
Cerakote is a ceramic material suspended in a two-part epoxy matrix (binder) applied with a paint gun. It is, in fact ,a standard epoxy paint technology with the addition of wear resistant fillers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zCjfqE8XME
I agree that it is an applied finish, not an alteration of the base material like anodize or ferritic nitrocarburizing. I'd hardly call it paint....which is a quite generic term for the stuff that's on my house walls and car.

I think the Alpha High/Low tailcap guts are unique to the Alpha due to using a different resistor. The low values are different than the Bravo/Charlie lows.
