I always love this. they were all prepped and ready to go they hady to do nothing!!!hahahahahahahahaha fuckin funny !! U really think they were all set and ready to go !! ur so WRONG !!! First of all u dont be eggs and take them out to breakfast to have some chef at a fancy restaurant cook thew do ya??? First of all they have to be blasted with a certain grit media in order to have full adhesion on Pc. plus they usualy bake them in the oven for a half an hour atleast to sweat any impurties out of material brake fluid , oil etc etc. So do u really think they were ready to go !!??? On top of that if u blasted and they were all set and u just dropped them off and said paint them, then went to pick them up and all the PC looked like shit and was flaking off. Who’s fault would that be urs for doing the preppy or there’s for just doing what u wanted ??? ---

The quality looks great. I will consider this turnaround time if I ever get something powder coated. ---

Perfectly reasonable price. Sounds like someone who does’nt know the work it takes to get results like that. ---

yea im very pleased with the results of their work. if my buddy’s oven didnt catch on fire when he was doing a test piece, he would have powdercoated them. so if you still think that they werent prepped right or w.e he does powdercoating so he knows what he is doing. so thats why i dont think that the price of $350 was right (as did my buddy), BUT i am happy that he was able to talk it down to $270 which WAS reasonable for me. i am just trying to clear things up a bit more:) i dont hate anybody because they posted their opinion of my choice, yea i understand this is the internetz so anything goes, so i will deal with it. no hard feelings:hug(nohomo) ---

IMO if the car was clean picture would look way better. Didn’t realize how red the actual wheels were. Can’t wait for spring so everyones nice cars start coming out, would like to see a rolling shot of this car when clean and nice weather. Looks good though man. ---
