    Yea, if dude wanted to voice his side, I'm all ears. But knowing that he is actively reading Bayoushooter enough to have seen your post before you told him shows he's aware of it, and deliberately hasn't given his side of the story. It's rather incriminating in appearance.

    It doesn't necessarily mean he's a member - he could just have a Google Alert set for the 'company' name and it popped up.

    Nevermind, he would have to be a member, or at least a member showed him, as Off Topic is not Google-aggregated, and requires a login to view.

    So yea, he's rather actively avoided it. Shame.

    Dip looks like ****.

    what a douche, damn that sucks, he won't last long. Did the Yamaha shop say anything about the service? How do they feel advertising someone's service like that is a plus to there shop?
    His mother is the vice president of the shop.
    they already had there yamaha franchise yanked from them, now they are just a parts store. someof his stuff is on display up front to the right.
    I dropped the gun off there and he picked it up. I also picked it up and paid there. If and when I dispute the credit charge it will come out of them.

    I love these dissatisfied customer threads! Particularly when the vendor lashes out at the cusomter. :D

    This guy wouldn't last a week in my industry with an attitude like that. Priceless; and funny!

    Oh! But, sorry you got secrewed; Dishonored! I don't like that part.

    That's a horrible excuse of a paint job, says a lot about his poor excuse of character too since he won't come forward and explain himself.

    He must have just lost over 100 potential customers with this thread.

    File this report with the Better Business Bureau and place a review on any of the internet review websites that pop up when you google his company name or the type of service he provides. The folks on Louisiana Sportsman need to see this as well. Be diligent and patient...you and karma will have the last word.

    I know! If we treated our customers here like that we would have closed our doors a long time ago! One wrong phrase and we would lose our mantience contract with Praxair.

    Thats great! The intent here was to share my experience and let others decide for themselves. Now obviously with his response, the decision is clear.

    No, I do not. Sounds like a real sweet guy though.

    yea, just wanted to check, your local like I am for the most part.

    I hope so. The money is a loss sure but it ruined my girls birthday being late and the "slam up" job he did sure didnt make up for it. I was going to post up something on sportsmant but I heard he was a sponsor or something there and didn't wanna risk being barred from the site.
    I wonder if I could just post a link on there to this thread?

    I have a **** load of junk that could be hydro-dipped, maybe I should just drop off some items and be a lousy customer and never pick them up or pay when finished? Does he make you leave a deposit?

    Silverware sets, mud boots, old car bumpers, use your imagination.

    All the more reason to let Louisiana Sportsman know who they are endorsing, I can't imagine them banning you for exposing the truth.

    That a$$ probably did it in his sh!tty bathtub. Did he clearcoat it? I don't know if a clear coat is absolutely necessary but I do know it protects the finish. I was looking into a company to dip my rifle and add a matte clear.

    The clear coat is /absolutely/ necessary, otherwise you have /no/ physical protection from abrasion or peeling/scratching of the pattern. The clear coat also helps block parts of sunlight that contribute to fading, apparently, as well - like a sunscreen.

    Jack, you always make me laugh.

    Not that it makes a difference now, but did you pay for the work up front? If so, why? This is why you never ever ever ever ever pay up front. At least you have something to bargain with if the work turns out shitty, as this obviously did. (This is especially true with paint & body men and hookers.)

    Not to rub salt in a wound and I know you don't want to hear I told you so, but let this be a $125 lesson. (Pretty cheap actually, as far as life lessons go.)

    And let this also be a lesson to Shawn the Shittydipper... Don't **** people off with shitty work, it will come back to haunt you. It's much easier to do the right thing the first time arouind. Plus your text response makes you look like a total dirtbag.

    It''s worse than that! He said in the OP he "paid his ticket" after he got the gun back!

    But, those customers that aren't vocal at the time of their discontent are the ones you need to watch in the aftermath. Hence, this thread! ;)
