Quoted from Stoomer:
Chris: Do yourself a favor and don't respond to this gentleman anymore...
These disputes always get ugly and no-one ever wins. You didn't out him, he's picked this online fight out of you changing your policies post, and IDed himself. So he's the one who made this particular dispute public. In you original post, you said there were several customers who've stiffed you, and therefore you had to make the change. I was really surprised you didn't collect monies up front for this service, or at least a down payment, as I'm sure most of your customers are...so you didn't do anything wrong in that simple explanation of your policy change.
On this particular dispute, I'm sure you both believe you're right, and the truth is in the middle, as always - but it sounds like you both moved on(mostly lol) - your ex-customer has found a new plater he's happy with...and you seem to have accepted your losses on this deal.
Not that I think this plea will work...they rarely do, and I'm not even sure why I'm doing it since we've all seen it so many times before...maybe it's my turn to try? Sure...why not...plus, it's bowling night. I'm in a gregarious mood... :0D

Quoted from Soulrider911:
I have always had great experiences with Chris. I have probably spent in excess of 3k with him over the last few years, and I have never felt for one second that he was not a customer-focused businessman, and would take care of me in an event.
I actually was surprised when I placed my very first order arrived at my door and I had not even paid for it? I thought there was an error / or something amiss.
Then Chris said that he trusts his buyers, and payment is upon receiving. I thought this was both amazing and risky. I have NO PROBLEM paying up front, that is the standard way of buying almost any product these days (now there are some exceptions). I have also had some issues with some of the parts I got from Chris, and he took care of me and resolved every issue I had. I believe he is a good man, from my perspective.

Quoted from wolftownjeff:
I have had excellent service from Pinball Plating.

Thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming
I hope everyone is having a good night. Won't stop raining here. Flooding in parts. Stay safe, my friends!

Just want to give a huge thanks and shout out to Chris. My game is now that much closer to where I want it and the chrome was a major player in it. Will definitely be doing more business and spreading the word when opportunity presents itself.

I also feel it super important to express how awesome his customer service is. I had wrong parts sent to me, he made it right and fixed it. I sent stuff for trade in after I payed, he gave me stuff I forgot to order plus a couple more coin reject housings which might I add messed up on my behalf not his. Super solid guy. Can't express my gratitude enough.

I have spent a lot of money with Chris and I've bought several pins and 1 shuffle alley from him. In my dealings he has been more than fair. Each time he gave me more than I bargained for (including extra parts I needed or MIGHT need). He has been honest and up front about what I was getting with every purchase. I'm fairly new to the hobby but I've been in business for over 16 years, dealt with a lot of folks in my 54 years so I'd say I have a better than average BS detector. All I can say about Chris (and I've done all my transactions with him in person) is he is a SOLID businessman and a true straight up, old school handshake kinda guy. Nothing but helpful with me and I look forward to doing more business with him for years to come as my collection grows.

Fire! Champagne that belongs to a friend that we did polished brass on. It was a super pain in the neck to get this job done. Doing the rails for this thing proved to be a major undertaking. All that being said, it is beautiful!
We normally do satin brass on these, which is easier to pull off than polished. I'm not saying we won't do another one, but it won't be cheap, and don't expect it fast, lol.

Not sure if this is a trade name or not, but can you do parts in "neochrome"? I could see this working well with more colorful games like GOTG for example.

I've seen stuff like that done, our guys can do some similar things with plating. This is obscure but parts on certain cars were done with a rainbow effect back in the day, such as the brake booster on a 69 Camero, etc (don't ask me how I know). But I know they have done some of that kind of thing. We can probably do some similar things with some of the powders on the market, especially over the top of chrome... I can look into it if anyone really wants something.

Hope everyone is doing well. We have been playing catch up here, and just working day in day out. All good things. And more new things to come soon
