Powder Coating By Kip

I’ve used Kips in the past and always been happy with their work. Kip always took care of me and got the job out when promised. I recently took in a few small pieces to get coated and found a new guy running the show. He told me it would take 3 days and due to past experience I even asked if he was sure due to the small job and color choice. He said no problem. One week after drop off I went by and still hadn’t been touched. I got no apologies just excuses that they had a big job come in that they were just finishing up and should get started on my stuff that afternoon or the next day. Again one week goes by and still no phone call so I go by their shop and the big project is still not done apparently. Again no apologies just empty promise to get it done. Finally after 3 weeks I go by because again no phone call. Parts were done and one of the guys that works there told me they’d been done for 3 days. Thanks for the call. The guy running the show ran my card and gave me my receipt, still no apology and not even a thank you for the business. I work in the automotive industry and I’m always referring people places. I have referred Kips in the past I will not refer them again and I will never use them again.

Had a set of wheels powder coated here and it looked like some kid painted them with a rattle can inside their garage. Uneven finish, orange peel and tons of chips on the actual wheel. Keep in mind these were BRAND NEW wheels. I had already prepaid (mistake on my end) and picked them up in a rush and didn’t see the horrible work until later.
I would have called or went back and mentioned the crappy job, but the fact that it’s so bad I’m sure they knew what they did and wouldn’t do anything to make it better.
I guess you get what you pay for…
And they took a few days longer than said. Over the phone they claimed 1 – 2 days, when I got there they said a week, ended up being 1 ½ weeks.

Kip and Russ are the best. Crazy Bernie has them, and only them do all his railings up at the Crazy Daze ranch. Their powdercoating makes others in their industry look like clowns. I have known Kipp for nearly 30 years and he has always done the best work. In Crazy Bernies opinion there is only one powdercoating company in central california. And this is the company.
