Am I supposed to trust him because people who feel the need to have their cameras repainted like him. Do I know this guy! I don't assume anything about him except for what I've observed on his site and from user's commenmts. Considering the reaction of some of those users to my doubts I must discounts their comments about the quality of the paint job. I am questioning the quality of a product seen on the web. I don't give a dam who makes it nor do I care if you happen to like him. If you can't handle that too bad. but don't resort to conducting personal attacks against me. In the olden day this thread would have led to a discussion about different types of paint. prepaint metal treatment processes, different kinds of baking scenarios, difficult applications such paint retention on a knurled lands and all sorts of interesting stuff. But now thanks to a few people discourse is stifled and it all turns into crap. This all goes to a larger issue. I've been on this list for years and it has become impossible to hold serious discussions on products and services because a small group turns to mud slinging. It's happened to me and to several other people before. Normally I'de be willing to stop responding in the name of peace and traquility but it's gone too far. I will keep this up until something gives.
