Not sure what happened to the thread on my wheels, possibly got deleted, but the point I'm trying to make is stay away from Hardway Customs!
Long story short, I took my wheels to Matt to have them powder coated. Two weeks later I get the wheels back and look at them and they have these 1/4 inch black dots all over them, about 20 per wheel. There were also scratches on one wheel, and it looks like when they put my wheels in the oven, they rested one of the wheels on another which left a big crease across one of the spokes on my wheel.
After being dissatisfied, I decided to do some research. Matt had told me that all those dots in the wheel were out-gassing, which was incorrect because out-gassing is the size of a pinhole not 1/4 inch. Maybe they don't know how to prep wheels and remove all the oils properly, but who knows.
After talking with Matt and telling him that I was not happy with the work, he did refund my money so I will give the guy that much. But the thing that really pisses me off is that first, he didn't even do the work himself, he outsourced it to another company. Second, the pictures that he originally posted in the thread about my wheels were not even my wheels. Thirdly, I'm left with a set of wheels that look like shit, and 4 ruined center caps that need to be replaced. And the best part is that when I took the wheels to a different powder coater today, the new powder coater told me that they weren't even powdercoated. THEY WERE SPRAY PAINTED!
This guy is not a guy you all want to be doing business with. Sorry for the ranting, but I just had to get that off my chest and warn you all who were thinking about getting work done by him.
If anyone is not happy with me posting this here then let me know and I will remove the post.
Regards,
Jason
