Madchemist handles are already sprayed, I just need to tap and reassemble.
Oaktown handles I had to redo two times since the silver pretty much shows ANY imperfections (uneven metallics and black/white lint). I am respraying the single handle today and hopefully it will be good to be assembled tomorrow.
Phantom370z I am starting on yours tomorrow granted oaktowns handles gets completed.

I have two more orders after that and then that will be it for my paid orders.

To those that have been PMing about new orders unfortunately do to my time constraints and much busier schedule I am done with offering this service.

If I have the time, I will make a DYI video on how disassemble and reassemble the handles, thus you can just bring it to your painter. I do not have an ETA on when this guide will be available.

I will be selling off three sets of painted cores at the end. I most likely will do two sets Magnetic Black and one set Gun Metallic. Price will be $285 but no ETA.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the updates, I appreciate a fellow perfectionist and my current door handles are still working just fine. :cool:

From looking back on the thread there was plenty of advice that this is NOT Equals primary business & turnaround times can be long well before you committed to the job.

Suck it up princess & stop hassling someone who has a passion for the Z.

Rant over.


I've got a fever, and the only prescription - is more cowbell!

You can mind your own ******* business.

I don't mind waiting......when I am expecting to wait from the communication of the other party. But when the seller tells me they are done and ready to ship...and then isn't shipping it....something isn't on the up and up. I was told they would be done over a month ago. I was told I was the next set to be done back on July 25th. I was told my handles were shipping the next day on this very thread two weeks ago. Yet.....I have received nothing and the seller hasn't communicated a single thing.

Just posted yesterday.

This is the kinda stuff I am talking about. If my handles were ready to be shipped two weeks ago, then why are you respraying them tomorrow?

It's always easy to tell someone else to calm down when it isn't your money or items that are gone. If you aren't a buyer or a seller, then your opinion don't mean **** to me.

I waited right around 2 months, I know life and work get in the way so it happens did it suck??? yes was it worth the wait yes, lack of communication was prolly the biggest thing if he just explains that something happened then all would be good. Hopefully u get them soon I know mine look amazing!!!

To be honest, Madchemist handles would've shipped out a a couples days back but I was waiting to finish up yours so I can tap and reassemble all at the same time. I do all the disassembly/tapping/reassembly in my living room and it makes a huge mess so I try to get as much done in one session if possible.

I do the spraying in my only guest bedroom venting out the window. If I have company that weekend (which I can't tell them no since it is immediate family) then I can't do anything that Thursday-Sunday. I cannot turn on my air compressor past 8PM or neighbors will be complaining per experience (which only gives me a 3-4 hour window). My real job is nothing related to automotives/painting or the likes. I'm in healthcare and I'm pretty much on my feet for 8-9 hours straight making sure somebody doesn't flat line.

The side markers I re-sprayed as per requested and it looks like crap. There are words on the side markers that pops out and is quite an eyesore so I will just refund you the cost of them.

Kabestro 09-22-2014 01:56 PM

Are these guys without handles on their cars all that time? If they have core swaps just refund their money, I'm sure you can sell what ever you have done to someone else. Screw them...

Update:
Assembling both madchemist and oaktowns tonight after I get home from work and shipping out tomorrow morning. Starting on phantom370z handles tomorrow as well.

Thanks for the update

Hmm, whatever dude. For the record I did have my money and items invested in Equalme - he did my handles a few months back. I shipped a set over from Australia and waited for him to do the job & ship them back. All of which cost me time & extra $, so if anything I had MORE invested than you. Not once while I was waiting did I feel the need to bleat impatiently in public about it.

...but then what do I care? My opinion doesn't mean ****to you.

Enjoy your new door handles buddy. I'm sure you'll be impressed with the quality of work.

Of course you got a set from equalme. What else would have prompted you to blindly defend one party and "bleat in public" another party over a transaction that you are not part of and have no clue about.

Jaybo666 09-24-2014 06:31 PM

update on mine please

Crisisx1 09-24-2014 09:24 PM

My suggestion to the guy doing the work... Don't overfill your plate

Minimize your turn around time by reducing orders. I wouldn't be happy either if I had to wait 2+ months.
