Anthony,
Strange question but I thought I would ask, can you paint them in a Carbon Fiber pattern or is the stick on CF the best solution.. I wish there was someone who made the whole assembly in CF and the mirrors too...

cooltoy

Can't paint a pattern. You can buy Eco-r cf covers. For mirrors too.

Hydrodip and clearcoat will get you that look. I played with hydrodip in the past and it's not as easy as it looks.

I had evo-r cf covers in the past, but kinda tacky since you can still see some silver parts from the handle.

Do not take this as a complaint please but I did receive notification from
Fed ex that mine were picked up as well.

Just advise on core refund.

Again no attack here, just a simple question.
Thanks Anthony.

Refund processed but still waiting on funds to finish clearing.

Delay is due to somebody starting a dispute on PayPal even after we had agreed on a full refund once I receive the handles back...it was filed the same day that person shipped the package off. Once that dispute is filed, PayPal automatically withdraws that amount from my account, thus puts me in the negative. I had to add funds back into my PayPal account to bring it back to positive, thus takes 3-5 business days delay.

Don't blame me for your cash flow problems. You should be properly managing your business and keeping a reserve for these types of contingencies. Or even better, just don't withdraw the money until you know your customers are satisfied with the product. Take some ownership and stop pointing fingers and making excuses.

Along those lines, the reason I filed the dispute, despite your agreement, was your lack of follow through on all your other promises and commitments. You continually delayed completion and shipment of the handles and fell short on three different dates. Not to mention all the other complaints and comments on missed commitments and poor communication in the thread above.

I don't really treat this as a "business". Be it how it is, this is just a hobby as I enjoy spraying. I have my own personal reasons for not leaving extra funds in my PayPal. And you're the first person to ever complain about the finish of the product, you did not allow for any resolve and requested for full refund which I agreed to.

After inspecting the handles that I received back from you, I still see no major flaws on the finish. One thing I noticed was a residue on the finish which matches the bubblewrap, not sure what it is, but I'm sure it'll clean off with some polish. If you're complaining about a speck or two from dust, then Lol. You're paying $250 for somebody to disassemble the handle, machine two pieces, paint, and reassemble. The finish itself is better than Nissan and their orange peel finish. The clear itself is stronger and more resistant to chips than whatever Nissan is using.

Oh have I never taken ownership of my delays? Read again. But I do not take ownership of the delays of the refund as my life isn't revolved around staying home waiting for packages to show up. If you had not had filed that dispute, all the core refunds would've went out on 8/22/16, including your full refund.

It's funny how you keep making comparisons to other people's work, like Nissan or other shops, and making statements about how much people are getting for the $250, to justify whatever product you're delivering. It wasn't "a speck or two" on the handles. There were several "specks" and what looked like a deflated bubble in one. You even argued with me about it over PM and stated: "Is the imperfections even noticeable with the handles mounted and standing 2-3 ft away?" Then in an above post made some comment about solvent pop. To me it clearly sounds like you know the poor quality being sent out and just don't care. It wasn't even $250 work in my opinion. I've seen work for $150 from other shops on small parts that looked flawless. Going through you really just goes back to the core swap convenience.

I didn't state take ownership of the delays. You're quite vocal about that and telling people to leave you alone because you don't have time or have some other reason why not to deliver. I stated you should take ownership of your cash flow problem and issuing refunds. It's not my fault you don't have the proper funds.

What it boils down to is simple. Either you have the time and attention to run a proper business or you don't. Sounds like you don't. If it's a hobby, then don't charge people, just do it for fun. But don't get defensive when people get upset that the handles they paid for a month ago arrived massively delayed and with subpar quality. As I stated before though, shame on me for expecting any different.

Good news is I just received my new handles, side markers, emblems, and badges to have a professional local shop paint and do this the right way.

Moving on.
