I just need to rant.
To start off, I did the majority of the teardown. I didn't take off the casters or the legs off, because they were rusted on, or I didn't have the tools at the time. So I shipped my Red Tent away to be stripped and redone from the ground up. What I got was, nothing done to the legs, still rusted as F##K. I had a minty coin box, which I sent with it, so they could match the paint. Instead they painted it matte black. I should have taken the locks off. Because, the way the matched the dimpling, was using Rock Guard. Not a bad idea, unless you get it all inside the lock. I couldn't even get the key in. To top it off, instead of pulling out the dents, they used body fill.
My first sign was that it was going to take 4 to 6 weeks. But 5 months later I got this. I'm just so friging pissed. Id go on about my phone call, but I think that would make me even more enraged.
I just feel like I wasted my time and got shit all for service. Now its going to cost me a nice little mint to get it all sandblasted, (Oh yeah, they didn't do that the first time), degreased. This time i'm going to go with powder coated. I'm putting more work into it then the machines worth. Frig.
You know what the worest part of this is, the dude that did this is a friend. Out of the dozens of jobs hes done for me, this is the first I know I got screwed on.
