Not trying to pee pee on your parade any more than has already fallen on you, but that is a pretty diappointing looking powdercoat job...to put it lightly. After you went through all the work to strip it down and go that far on the tear down, you want it done right the first time. Are you going to leave it like that? Sorry it came out crappy hope you get it done right looks like it will be a sick project.

Wow sorry to hear that you got hosed, I know what it's like to expect something and then want to get going on it then someone doesn't do their part.
It looks like he gave you almost a ford powder blue when you wanted a majestic candy blue I had the same thing happen to all my powdercoating on my truck driveshafts were wrong so was anti sway bar.
Wrong color too light this is ford powder blue
Should be this color so I feel you and had almost the same color issue.
My experience with a bad powdercoater is that they will just tell you to sue them and not take care of their mistake.

Unfortunatley you are all right with what you have to say. I am not happy with the coat job at all,(worst coat job I have ever seen!) it is totally screwed and def NOT the color I was looking for.
But at this point I have not got the time to get it done right. I am going to put it together as is to break the engine in and dial all the fancy parts I have. And try to get some riding in this season. Now that I know what I know, and have the #'s to some guys that can do this work at the level I am looking to have it done, I am not worried. I know that next fall when the snow starts to fly again, I can pull this whole thing apart and have it done the way I really want it done. Engine work, P.coat all of it. I am finding things that are slight causes for concern. But at this point all I can do is get it back together and hope it does not go BOOM! And if it does then that gives me the reason to do the rebuild myself next time! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND INFO this build would not exist without this site.
And yes they charged me $290.00 for the s.blast,p.coat job! :x :x But I am not even going to call them ever again. They have already wrecked my frame and pipe and getting my $$ back won't change that. I feel it was the price I had to pay to learn this game too. my own damb stoopid fault!
Also by the look of it, they need the $$ a LOT more than I do!!
