      As opposed to a bulbous white face?

          Congrats Cam! You still owe me a ride! I can help with the pictures if you're just too lazy... or still hungover from the Stampede parties :P

                Sooooooooooooooooooooo

                Colin and one of his tech buds were ready to toss my ol wheels on, when they realize the powdercoating was quite subpar.

                Now I have to tear them apart again, and drop them back off, to be re-stripped and coated again.

                Major bummer man.

                  Sounds like you're in pain.

                  The remedy is H&R Sport Springs.

                      Sorry to hear Cam. I battled the same issue with my wheels. Never building another set of 3 piece wheels again.

                      I ended up getting my centers painted at stampede instead of attempting to powdercoat again

                        Did you get the faces done at Calgary Powdercoating just off Blackfoot?
                        Had some work done there recently and was super unimpressed. Was promised my item back like 3 times, not updated once, took nearly a month and the finish was meh. 3/10 would not recommend.

                          In fairness to Calgary Powdercoating, Colin mentioned CAW has never received subpar work from them in the past and was surprised to learn where I had them coated.

                          Will take them apart this weekend.

                            The customer service at top gun blows. And theyre expensive. Hit and miss quality too.

                              Yeah Colin's service is awesome (except when we want to drink with him in the Palace Parkade).
                              I know I can be needy, and he knocks it out of the park. (texting him at supper time to book me in the next day haha)

                                Had a few things powder coated and have had a few customers get their stuff done at Top Gun and I have had nothing but excellent reviews/experience.

                                Always seems easy.
