Color-Rong: be careful!
I am having my Beasley 6" tail painted that georgous (fastest) Y2K green we all love, but not without a delay, thanks to Color-Rong.
I ordered Kwak Y2K candy mint lime green (or whatever the name is) with base & clearcoat, and they did get the bike, year, color correctly noted on the invoice, BUT sent me Honda lime Green & assoc base.
Thinking this was just a screwup with the order picker, I called em and was told that the Honda and Kwak greens are the same. Paint it!
Well, the guy shot the piece with the base and then the 1st color coat and ... They sure as shit aren't the same. Honda green is sweet, but the tail sure doesn't match the seat cover.
So, I called em again and was told a story about how the painter should have done a spray out. Sure he should have, but the bottom line is they sold me the wrong color, and they wouldn't back up. Variance color my TFA big butt! I did get a discount on the right paint...
bahahahahahahahaha! Jokes on ME!!!!

my painter has to spray 2-3 samples to make sure he is mixing it correctly, and when he get's it right he sprays it that way. I am not sure where he get's his paint but it looks good!

I oughta turn Vincent loose on 'em  he knows how to get satisfaction! BUT, all I want is the tail to look Kwak green, and Chad certainly can do it, now that he has the right paint.
