Unprofessional, you say? You obviously didn't read through this thread - equalme is not doing this as a profession. He's doing it on the side because he has access to the necessary equipment and knows how to do it right and wants to provide a service to the community. It's unreasonable people like you who ultimately deter people like equalme from providing services such as this. Shame on you; I'm glad equalme hasn't let those people get to him yet.

Not sure why you are protecting Beemaaz on this and coming at me.

First, I am only posting my experience and issues I had with the order. I believe everyone has the right to know what goes on in this botched transaction. I'm not knocking on his quality work that you guys speak of, since I didn't even have the chance to check it out.

Second, I did read the entire thread before I considered placing an order. I provided him adequate time to fulfill the order. This is after him PMing me saying he has a extra set waiting for me. However, when I replied it was gone already and he said "I'll have another set ready in week". Which I agreed to that is fine. Now it's after 7 weeks and a bunch of no replies.

Third, You to be wonder where the hell is this order after about 7 weeks. Beemaaz told me to move on? how can I when I am short $400 without any product.

I'm not here to pick fights with trolls. Just posting my experience and troubles with the order.

I'm not protecting Beemaaz. I'm more interested in standing up for equalme. I was simply agreeing with Beemaaz.

The transaction may seem botched from your unreasonable perspective. But I just see a delayed order due to circumstances outside equalme's control (i.e. compressor is down).

Is that 7 weeks total wait? Because if you gave up at that point, then you obviously didn't read the thread. Sounds like you were just unlucky with timing in missing that extra set and then having the compressor go down to where he couldn't meet his deadline. $hit happens.

I don't think anyone was suggesting that you move on without your refund. Equalme will refund your money.

Well, from all the information you've posted, it sounds like you were too impatient to wait for a quality product when it was well known that delays are possible. You were certainly a bit unlucky in timing, but that's not equalme's fault.

I'm more concerned that he did not follow up with me and did not keep his word. Last message I receive from equalme is that he will have it done and shipped to me by 10/7 or 10/8 at the latest. I also noted to him that if he cannot ship it to me by that date to cancel my order. When I tried to follow up with him a few days before to see if he did ship the item out already. This is when there is no more communication from him. So I posted on the forum to get his attention and now here we are. So I have been understanding to extent but will not be taken a fool and lied to.

Speaking from experience as someone that missed the paypal dispute deadline, Anthony will make it right; It might take until the weather is warm again, but he'll get you your goods.

Just ... don't miss the dispute deadline if he does go cold turkey..

edit: forgot to add he's really busy at times... so his replies will vary vastly week to week.

Wrong. I just happen to know that he has satisfied way more customers than the few people who aren't patient enough to wait for a guy who is not a vendor and does kick a$$ work in his spare time.

I didn't get any notifications in my e-mail regarding receiving a PM or that there were active posts in this thread. I don't frequent this forum often as I don't own a 370z anymore.

The air compressor in the spray booth that I rent is and still is down for repair/replacement. The owner decided to just upgrade the entire booth and compressor which is why it is taking so long. I had tried to source out other places to rent out a booth but with no luck. Apparently it is a liability issue.

I also tried spraying with a smaller air compressor at home but that didn't make the cut. Motor ran too much causing the tank to heat up, thus water droplets getting into the spray = fish eye.

None the less, I did see the Paypal dispute claim and it should be resolved soon pending Paypals side of completion.

Sorry for the troubles and missing the deadline for your show.

Everybody else, thanks for continuing to support me!

It always kind of varies. If a person gets an order in right before I head to the spray booth...well they'll get their order within a weeks period.

With the fluctuation of my work and personal schedule, on top of the spray booth being out of service, I've not taken on any orders for the past two months.

For now, I'm only going to post up once I have said handles done. Magnetic black is the most requested color so I will be spraying them in batches and post up availability once 100% completed and boxed up. Other colors I will need to take pre-payment as it is harder for me to sell if the buyer decides to back out.

So I finally got my car back from the Dealership and installed these last weekend.

For those who want to know why my car was there so long


I know color matching paint is difficult so I didn't expect these to be dead on, but they're a bit darker than expected. That being said, it does look a lot better than the flat black or the stock silver.

Oddly the passenger side looks a shade darker.













as you can see, it's only something you notice depending on how the light reflects off of it. I'm assuming these will fade a bit with some sun exposure and will be a better match over time.

Unfortunately that's not the case, did you not have thepainter match a swatch up to the car? I'm getting mine done now and I had 3 variable options for my paint. My mag black Z and Daytona blue 350z we did the same thing and it was dead on.

There is other variables as well, like your paint sprayed on a black base coat verse say a whitebase coat.
