First place I called with good reviews on google quoted me 20 bucks for the whole thing to be powder coated. I dropped it off this morning and told the guy specifically not to coat parts of the case (grounding hole, insides of the bottom half and the edges which go into each other on the sides of the case). Guy calls me at 2 pm saying everything is done. I go to pick it up and the top plate is scratched to hell. They anodized the insides too so I don't know if the pcb will slide in anymore as it barely fit earlier. The powder coating has made the mating parts too thick to where they don't fit into each other. Everything aside the guy looked pissed when I asked him if the scratches could be fixed by sanding or some filler compound. I mean sure it was 20 bucks but does that really mean it can be done with no regard for a final product?
When I brought up the fact that he had disregarded everything I told him to watch out for he threw the case on the table scratching it further and told me to get it wet painted instead. Gf was with me. She agreed I couldn't have been more polite. So wtf. Really. Wtf.
