Wow... reading that AtomWerks feedback was an eye-opener.

Such a shame. The quality looks impressive, but with that record of customer service, it's definitely not worth the risk of a bad experience.

I agree ScottyG, that's exactly what I thought. I'm sorry to hear it, Ethan. However, now I know I won't be buying from them.

Well it has been awhile since my last update, soooooo here goes.......

A lot has gone on since my last update. Due to a color match issue on a few main parts from using paint that was over two years old I decided to repaint. Due to the huge amount of clear and being worried about having to much material on the car I spent a couple of weeks sanding. I started with 320 on a DA, (I wet sanded to keep the dust down in the garage) then went to 400 and 600. Then I hand blocked each panel with 600. I then loaded it up in Jason's trailer and took it back out to the shop and Jeremy re-shot the entire car.

Here is a shot of the issue with the driver door. In the beginning it had a small blemish about the size of an eraser head, Most people would not have even noticed, but I decided to respray, without even thinking the age of the paint, not to mention the other 10K scenarios that effect color such as temperature and humidity levels.
Image

We did try and have it color matched but each time the color was either to light or to dark.
So I went to town on the sanding

Now it is back in the garage once again and the assembly has started.
