Thread: Does powder coating fade

Doubt that, they look worse than calipers ive seen with 100k+ on them.

I am the individual who sold these calipers to Logan 541. The calipers pictured above is not the condition there where in before i shipped them.

Lets Review the facts:

Logan 541 Paid for these Calipers the day i was on my way to Puerto Rico (Outside Continental United States) for a military training event. Most of you know i live in Florida. I had to wait until i returned back to Florida in order to ship these calipers out to Logan541. I also had to wait until i took the calipers off my car since i was using a friends shop and the vehicle needed to be a complete rolling chasis because i was working around his regular mechanic job and customers.

These calipers where powdercoated by Minichopper6hp Back in June 2010 or so he claimed to powdercoat them.

These are how they looked when i installed them. (Juneish 2010)

Here are how they looked in December of 2011 when i started putting my new suspension on and taking my engine out





Now as just about all of you know my car sat while i was in Iraq for 11 months in 2011. Then the Engine was out till just recently. Those calipers had less then 1500 miles on them since they were rebuilt and powdercoated or painted by Minichopper6hp. They had alittle bit of brake dust and grime/greese on them when i shipped them out but in no way where they as ****ed up as Logan541 has them pictured.

Back when GPF.net did the iTrader thing i had about 20 + iTrader points.

according to the STAMP ( "RECEIVED IN DAMAGED CONDITION" )on the box Logan541 has pictued (See photo below) the box was completely damaged by USPS, which would account for all the very large dings and chips missing off the coating.


These calipers where dropped off at a local shipping place and i paid for 2 LARGE USPS Flatrate shipping boxes and shipping material which cost me $15 per box for around $31.

May 29, 2012 Payment From
Linda DeLeva

Completed
Details Payment From Linda DeLeva 8HE64068NM6811606 $106.51 USD

I got fired from a recently employer for being disabled (Back Injury from Iraq) and i told Logan541 that i can't help him if i wanted to right now. He should be looking for USPS to cover the damaged to his calipers since they were the ones who ****ed them up. I have been in contact with him atleast 2-3times a week for the last month via phone or PM on here.

This is just for people to know what this guy had going on the site and to avoid confusion.




I hope you two guys can work something out.

Sucks when you don't receive the stuff you expect, doesn't it.
