exotic coatings is the word of the day. They will do one day turnaround and send you some of the most beautiful stuff. They actually have talented painters not minimum wage slackers.

I can tell you guys from experience that there aren't many coaters around...at least here. The few that are in business are severly behind in their work load. It sucks for anyone who wants powder or ceramic coating...and it sucks for businesses who need stuff done.

Sounds like a generous offer.. but I already got the rest of the stuff at another coater. Supposed to hear word back today from the original coater or recieve some stuff, but nada so far. The second batch of stuff we got at a different place (didnt end up going with jet hot though) should be done and shipped by Friday... so I'm actually a little relaxed for once.

ON a lighter note. The long wait for these kits to get shipped and all the problems worked out, is acctually a good thing. It gives me time to get the n2o bug out before I order a turbo kit. So I hope by the time I'm ready, these kits will be on the shelf ready to ship same day. bing bang boom. Nice and easy.

Just a question or observation, call it what you will....
Do you ever get into contact with either bill or marko or do they keep blowing you off? IF you do, how many times a day, week, month, do you actually talk to someone over there?

I've seen many posts of you "calling them" but unable to get ahold of either one of the hi flo reps, and the many attempts of you trying to have them get in touch with you via posts here in the FI forum also seem to be getting unnoticed.

there are things me and bill discussed privately monday, and he knew id be calling today. i didnt want to be an *** and bring this public. however, when a company has in possession $3500 of my money, and i cant get ahold of them on a "critical" date, call me crazy, but i just get a little nervous. now i dont see hi-flo as a scamming company, in fact, i highly doubt that. its just a matter of getting a product. i either want a kit, or my deposit back. no hard feelings, gl to hi-flo, gl to customers
I feel 100% the same way, I've tried to iron out a few local deals but nothing panned out. If i can get that I'm looking for I'll be doing the same thing you are. Let me know how things turn out in a pm if youve got time
