Yeah, regardless, I don't think I'll be going back to this guy. Taking way too long to fix something he clearly agreed was done haphazardly.

Unreal

 

Try lava black, it's similar to black wrinkle but supposedly easier to apply. A buddy of mine retired from the military and opened a powdercoating shop and has been doing my stuff in it. Looks great, a little more matte black than wrinkle.

 

who makes the lava black?

 

I'll find out. I've got some stuff to take to him early next week.

 

i just checked with my supplier they have not heard of it... let me know i am always looking for new black's

 

If they were mine, I wouldn't stress over it. I would take them back. No one pays for a **** poor job and no business person should expect you to. They should want to make it right if they're reputable.

 

This is kind of a dead thread at this point, but I had a couple of thoughts to add about powder coating.
The biggest thing that can go wrong with the finished product is in the preparation. The parts need to be completely cleaned of other finishes and oils. Any paint or impregnated oils need to be removed. even fingerprints of a sweaty hand can create the fisheyes you saw. I bet somebody handled the parts after final cleaning.
As I am sure you all know, PC is simply an electrostatically charged powder that "sticks" to the part with static electricity and it hangs on a hook while it waits to be baked.
The powdered part is put into the baking oven and the "paint" turns into a coating much like a plastic. once it "dries" (cools off) it is a very tough coating that is almost impossible to remove, even sandblasting takes forever to clean off the powder coating.

Good to hear the guy is gonna just redo the job, sounds like it is gonna work out ok.

 

$200 still sounds steep. I bought a new wrinkle black AC cover from the dealership, brand new for $50. I cant see the horn being much more.

Bottom line is that your satisfied with what you get.
