The arms were coated as one piece. Not disassembled. Also, the fins were supposed to be exposed. Not just the ends. Ugh.

He told me to "break lose" the nuts etc. Im sitting here like whaaaaaa. And how do you do that when the threads are covered and the nuts are now part of the fn covered ends, without damaging the powder.

He also did my knuckles but no pics yet. I also asked him to leave all the machined areas bare. But I can only assume he fcked that up too.

I was looking at that but thought it was spray paint or something. How the hell he manage to not coat the insides of the bushing end?

Moral of the story always take in the bare minimum, it's lest for a shop to screw up. In this case you could have sent just everything except the fastening hardware.

He coated the danm spherical bushings too. Obviously no automotive experience.

You don't want to coat the insides where the bushings go.. It will make it extremely difficult to press the bushings in with the added material in them..

I told him not to spray the bushing areas. Guess he did that one thing right.

He better not charge me to fix this BS.
