I recently aquired Master Armorsmith and read up a lot about this profession. I currently have my factories making advanced battle cores and they will be done in a few hours. I read over and over again about the factory color bug and I'm a bit weary about making factory runs. Should I just hand craft my armor, or should I just take the risk and put them in factories?

It depends how valuable those cores are to you.
If you only have like 50 cores, you'll be wasting a whole lot making schematics and running it through a factory just to be sure a certain color combo comes out correctly.
On the other hand, if you have 500 cores, and don't mind wastinglike 20 or30of them, sure, do a factory run and see if it works. When doing so, make just 1 first and see if it comes out correctly , then continue with the rest.
FYI, this is how Ihand-craft a suit.
I copythe text"Black Composite by Ronald" leaving 2 spaces between "Composite" and "by".
In the final stage, I choose the colors,paste in the copied text, and type in "Helmet" or "Right Bracer" or whatever between the 2 spaces.
I can make a full suit in less than5 minutes.

You could also mix and match. I've done factory runs of armor where people don't really expect colors: wookiee ceremonial and black mountain, bone, and chitin are good choices. Many including myself have had good luck with factory runs of black ubese bracers and pants as well as all-black padded (except for chest plates). For my grind armor, I'll run 25 of each piece of padded in all black and then craft a bunch of chest plates with colored panels on a black base. That way I get mass produced armor that people can customize to a small degree. And I'll mix the factory-run ubese pieces with hand-crafted jackets and helmets.
Best to test first, though. Results have varied. Set up a run of whatever you want and then check the first three to see that they are turning out like you want.
