    These are the control arms. They came back to me with many scratches down to bare metal. There were blotch spots. And there were dry spots, where the powder was sprayed so thin I could see bare metal beneath it.

    The first picture is a bracket with a terrible blotchy mark. The second, a hard bubble where the belt rides. The third shows an area that was once polished, and rides against an oil seal. My main pulley has been rendered useless.

    First picture is the front of the main pulley. Many chip marks, and some black stuff that will not come off. Second, the backside of the smog pump pulley, nicks and bubbles. Third, showing where the pulley was left bare.

    This was my trade to Chris in exchange for the control arms I sent him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and went to him first to see what was up. He told me everything looked fine to him. I asked him to pay for the arms and I told him how much I sold them for usually. He said he would refund $15. So far I've spent well over that getting a used main pulley/ballancer. And I'll be spending more now that I've dropped everything off at a powder coating shop that will actually do a good job. Thanks Chris! [​IMG]
