that is really bad... part of the appeal of powdercoating is a smooth, flawless, glassy surface. *** tht... i would be pissed...beyond that if they didnt give me all my money back including shipping.

Yeah I agree. I hope the mods will be more understanding (and they seem to be as of late) towards posts like this because it is important for customer testimonials to be shared for both the company (they know what they need to work on) and the consumer (they know what kind of quality has been seen in the past). Of course we have to keep in mind that these vendors help fund the forums but if they support it to sell product they should stand behind it. Vendor bashing is different from from negative reviews of product/service. Vendor bashing should be corrected as it is the customer (and people who join in) going on ignorantly, but reviews like this are the company's fault and they should either correct or deal with the issue. Just my .02 cents

To the OP, Good luck on the polishing, post pics when it's done.

Looks like they blasted it, then left the glass beads on it and powdercoated it.

Damn that sucks. You can tell by how good some of the areas look and how nice the color is that if it came out right it would of been great. Of course, those areas that look nice just make the majority that looks bad seem even worse.
