I love machinists who don't fxxx around and just get straight to it. Just let his shop after two hours just chatting. Made fun of the other loser relentlessly. Awesome stuff. I didn't bring the whole box which was dumb but I didn't know what to expect. I'm dropping off the box of lids on Monday morning and he said he just needs 45min to finish all of them. Love it!]

Sounds like you didn't use Angie's list.
 
Ok guys I have a conundrum and I need to you, the customers, decide this because you have all stuck with me through the pain of getting the Locking Lids done.

I'm here at the powder coater's now and they have evaluated the cost to mask, because of the laser etching, and re-powder and the cost to me is nearly double what I paid to originally have them powder coated. We did a quick paint touch up instead on one of them and it looks ok but it's not powder coat for this little section.

The advantage, if there is one, is that the spot that needs to be touched up is UNDER the lid so it's only seen when the lid is open and only on one small spot.

If you guys think it's ok to touch up with paint then I'll go ahead and do that and get these shipped. If you guys prefer powder then I will do that as well. I'm just trying to slow the bleeding but keep things transparent. :(
 
First pic is the modification. Second pic is a fresh coat of paint so that's why it appears a little shinier. It'll try more satin.

I haven't purchased one yet but will be. I'm totally cool with paint. No need for the powder coat. I want you to make a little money (or at least not lose money) so that you will continue to provide completely over engineered products that I never knew I needed.

You cracked your pink nailpolish, Joey...

Once I order this one, that solution would be fine by me too.
 
I ordered a mount today and may order the locking lid and pouch in the future.

Little paint spot on underside of lid would not bother me at all.

Incidentally, my black powder coated Tuffy Console came with a few rust spots in hidden places brand new out of the box. Don't sweat it.
 
Well between here and a few text messages, I think I'm cleared to go the paint route. I'll get a couple cans to make sure I can get as close as possible. Thanks folks! :cheers:
 
I'm ok with paint. Once you find a better match give us the specs so we can do future touch ups.
 
I just received my fire extinguisher mount and chair "lift" and looking forward to getting everything installed. Always have an extinguisher but its usually stuck in the back in an inconvenient spot for an emergency!
 
:princess: just ordered my extinguisher mount plus some extras for Christmas!

I didn't order a lid yet but...if I had, I would not have cared about the minor "spot" on the inside. Can't wait to get my goods!

Happy Holidays :moon:
