Default Is there no pride anymore?

I'm not someone in my opinion that is picky but I honestly believe that this person who powder coated my front cover and valve covers did not give a rats @ss
Look at all the oil and over spay on the bottom side all that will be floating around my engine if I put these on my car!
Is it not possible to be neater and have cleaner looking work than this?

No I did not get a chance to talk face to face with the person who was going to paint them but I did leave a note asking to not paint the back side of them for the gaskets to seal right, it must have never made it to him or he didn’t care?

Give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know any better. If you treat him like a dumbass right off the bat, he'll spit in your food (figuratively speaking) instead of being motivated to make it right.

Just some friendly advice.

There's no way that 'blasting that would warp it. Unless they have some crazy 300psi industrial sandblaster, I don't buy it.

Sorry to hear they did such poor work, but glad to hear they are trying to remedy it.
