Just wanted to hear from any of HDF memebers who have used their paint job and a satisfied cust
Have my Fender back..... Looks GREAT! They were unable to get chip repair to match on my Root Beer....... so they did a total repaint of the fender at no extra charge! even sprayed the underside with like bedliner. They will be doing any work I need in the future. Hope this helps, Brian Baker.
I used them. I went back & forth by email for a couple of weeks, then I spoke on the phone with Cory for about an hour before making a decision. I've had trouble with custom painters before, as everyone has & I explained each of my concerns in detail. He is knowlegable & genuinely seems to care.We worked together on a design & he said it would take 2-3 weeks (more on this later!). I had a set of Wide Glide tins lying around & he accepted them as my exchange metal. I sent them to him in advance, so I didn't have to pay the core deposit & then wait for a credit to come later. After I signed the work order & paid them 50% for the work, I didn't hear from them. I trusted his word at 2-3 weeks & I didn't bother them. The end of the 3rd week came & I tried to reach Cory. No response to emails & he always "just stepped out" when I called. 4 weeks, 5 weeks still no response. Finally, I sent him an email begging him to call me & he did. He stated that the painter went one to many coats of candy, which changed the color & they had to start over. He said "you may not have noticed it but I wanted it to be right". Did this actually happen? I don't know. It's possible & having worked with candies myself I can see it happening. It's also a convenient excuse, so who knows. Anyway, I finally got my stuff after 8 weeks. It took a lot longer than he stated but the paint is near flawless.(plus I did tell him I'd rather wait a little longer than rush them & get a less than perfect paint job). Very nice work & at a good price. They did paint "Colormania" on the lower edge of my tank. You really have to look for it it but it's there. All said & done, I'm happy with my bike.
The only thing that really bothered me was how easy he was to reach & how quickly responded to every email before I signed the work order. After I signed the work order, I was ignored. I felt like he he truly cared about me & my bike until he got the work order. Them I guess he felt he made the sale & moved on. I was disappointed by that kind of treatment.
Also, I was very thorough before I decided to use them. They're website states that they are more expensive than other custom shops but you should expect a better product. Just for the record, I got a 2 tone paint job ($795), one of the colors was marblized (another $200) plus painted pinstriping & "Harley-Davidson" (another $150). My costs was exactly as stated on the work order & not a dime more. It's a top quality paint job for under $1200 (which is quite reasonable). My previous paint job was done locally by a reputable custom painter & cost me $2500. It was not near the quality I got from Colormania.
I spoke with Cory the other day & he remembered my bike. I wanted to order a bottle of their "Diamondblend" polish. He remembered my bike took longer than expected & sent me a bottle of his polish & a microfiber cloth for free. He didn't even charge me shipping. That polish is $27 per bottle & I was calling to buy it. He didn't have to do that. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
