To be honest, I dread doing Pearl White as it time consuming for the tri-coat, I've been only willing to do it if I receive 3+ orders of them for that batch.

I am interested in a set of your painted door handle for my 2016 Nismo in Magnetic Black. I wanted to know when will be your next batch and approximately when I may recieve them to:

Fremont, Ca 94555.

Thanks!
I will be sending you a PM shortly. Next batch will likely be in two weeks.

I got mine eventually, it just took a while

I have issues with the product i received, but if you want anything on time, i'd suggest going to your local body shop and getting it done there
As with OptionZero, I drop all packages off at the USPS dropbox. I will follow-up with them tomorrow to see what is going on.

@OptionZero, I went back to look at my past PMs and I don't recall seeing a message from you regarding the issue with the handles. Please contact me.

I mean it's only been 6-7 months at this point lol.
Not trying to offending, but your initial order was only pending for 3-4 weeks before you requested for a refund if I recall correctly. That was my fault then for the delay. It was your choice to place another order and I thank you for giving me another chance to complete the order, but as of now, it has only been almost 3 week since you placed the order.

The week or delay is annoying but it got to me in time ... If ur waiting months just get it done locally. No communication or shipping lag and peace of mind, I prolly woulda gone locally if I had to redo it
I have no issues with you all going with your local body shops as I have tried to contract out two different shops to do the painting for me, none I was even close to being satisfied with. Most body shops cannot lay down a finishing clear coat without having to buff and polish to get the defects out. With the handles, the small areas makes it difficult and you're very limited on the amount of buffing and polishing you can do.

I would say, if the local body shop you pick out charges $750-1500 for a full spray, then they will likely do a shoddy job on the handles as they work for quantity and not quality. You want to find a shop that charges $2000+, but then who knows how much they'll charge for a small job as they're not making that much for the time they spend on a single item.
