This is an awesome place that does powder coating for a reasonable price. They did all of my armor for 100 bucks and it came out great!

Wow, sounds like a great deal if you live nearby! When you say "all your armor" curious what did that include?
Macomb, MI
Where are the pictures? Why would anyone try to save money on this by NOT seeing the Final Product! At least with Pinball refinery, He has tons of examples to prove his work is Legit!

Do what you want man. Not putting anyone down. I had a good experience with this company and I was just sharing it. Believe it or not more than one company powder coats pinball parts. They did 2 machines for me in the past and the work was stellar. Use whoever you want. I don't care
I was actually just approached to see if I could get this company to come to Pntastic. I don't own this company or have any affiliation with them but I do know they did great work for me.
No need for you to get all disregulated about it. The capital not and exclamation point is not
necessary. I can read. Calm down.
Quoted from Strummy:.....And what the hell does this have to do with pinball refinery? Doesn't that guy customize machines?
you have a lot of nerve sharing a positive experience here, especially in a selfless effort to help other hobbyists get a deal on a service you, yourself were happy with. real tell of character, right there. also, doesn't GEICO also save you money? At least with them, they have countless paid actors interrupting folk's conversations to say they "just saved a ton of money on their car insurance", to prove their work is legit!

I know. How awful of me. I shared what a fantastic job this company did for me and motor city pinball has a problem with it. I'm still trying to figure out where this pinball refinery thing came from. Maybe they are the same person?

I think you might have misunderstood his comment. You're touting the work of this company saying they did a fantastic job, but you didn't post any pictures of the work. Pinball Refinery, Robert Stone, Flawless Creations and others are successful because they post pictures of the work they do. If this company did great work for you, why not show it off in pictures so others can see?

Good on you for sharing.
FYI I pay around $200 NZD ($140 USD) for soft media blasting and powdercoat. When I post that US guys always ask “why so cheap?”
Always deals out there if you go looking. 
I bet there’s a powdercoater in every city who would cut a good deal. Ask hot rod guys, they’d have the hookups.

Quoted from Strummy:Check out the website. It's what they do. Yes they strip it.
I did. Zero mention of prep work. Hence why I asked.

I was just explaining Motorcitypinball 's comment since you seemed to be confused by it. I am, by no means, attacking you (and neither is motorcitypinball) because you shared a positive experience. I did check out the website, but they have very minimal pictures and none of pinball armor. It would just be nice to see pics of their work (on pinball armor).
Quoted from Strummy:Sorry. They sand blast the products. So if you have textured stern parts they will be smooth when done.
So bare metal then? I know of a few places here in Dallas that just blast them enough to rough up the surface then coat.

As far as I know. The parts looked factory finished when done. I asked them to protect the leg threads as well which they did without a problem

Hmmm. If they weren’t specific I’d bet money they blast it just enough, but not to bare metal. I tried saving money once on a valve cover and was disappointed when it started to flake off because there was residual original coating underneath. New powder coating never adhered.
When you going to post pics of your armor? I’d like to see the end result.

Exactly. Sorry I like to use exclamation points. I guess I feel it puts emphasis on what Im saying or asking for> If he did such great work....... Show the Pics. Why would you have to dig some Up? Just go take some pics of the 2 games he did for you and be done. Here are some pics of work Steve Did For me. I have more, But you got the picture

Pinside sure is plucky tonight
All he did was share a good experience
giphy.gifQuoted from mrclean:[quoted image]
And you showed A PIC to prove it!
Quoted from Strummy:I will find some pics. They did a sweet purple on my Metallica and a candy apple red on my a
Iron man. Im thinking a speckled black on my Pnbot next.
Do you not update your games on your pinside account? No mention of Metallica or Ironman in your profile. But you have Godzilla?

Here's a thought. I no longer own the games but I'm about to get one done. Thats why I thought of this place.
You are relentless. Practice patience. Thats what I tell my patients. Do you think I made this up? Explain why you need these pics so quickly on a Sunday? Especially if you are happy with the guy that does this work for you. I'm watching football and checking Pinside. And you? Your obsession with this? If you have a wife you must drive her crazy.
Glad you had a great experience with that guy. We can agree that we had great experiences. I hope that you use him whenever you need this service.
I'm not sure why I wasted my time expaining myself to this guy.
This has got to be one of the weirdest, passive aggressive threads I’ve seen. With is hell is up with folks? Strummy, your best best is to move on from this thread. You posted what you needed, people can do what they will with the info, no sense in engaging. The thread has turned into people investigating the machines you own and crap... Get a grip y’all.
Perhaps I can help others who seem to be confused on how to speak to people. All y’all had to post was: “Strummy, Do you have any pics? If so, it would be great for you to share so we could see their work. Regardless thanks for the heads up.”
… or is that expecting too much from the pinside armchair warriors these days? None of you would speak to anyone to their face the way you type half the time.
Quoted from Strummy:Get a grip man. Check what I owned in the past
No pics. Obscure company. Minimal info. Random positive post. Killer price.
We’ve had enough scammers on pinside that you’ll have to forgive us for being skeptical.

Now add a random less than a year member posting positive info about OP.

I have been there in person. Please dont use them. You will drive them crazy

God for bid you welcome a new comer to the community. Check how many pins I have my friend and my feedback. I will apologize for nothing, and I’m happy to play with you anytime if you are in the Columbus area.

I’d trust gas station sushi more.

Same if you are in Dallas, but this whole thread reeks of the Jersey shore.
wow! people are actually ripping a guy for not having pictures at the ready to meet their demands, and for his collection not documented to their liking. if i told this to someone who didn't follow pinball, they'd think i was making it up. i really hope he's able to look past this. trust me, Strummy the community is better than this.
fyi titanpenguin if this guy was trying to promote his company, you'd have so many pics, it would crash your computer. think about that, before you defend yourself to the death.
anyway, i know i'll keep the recommendation in mind, as i'm somewhat local. thanks for the lead.
Quoted from titanpenguin:Why not just post pics instead of trying to call out people? Seems simple enough?
Cause he sold the games and can't just walk up to them and snap a picture?
No good deed goes unpunished

Maybe you can take some pics and get more info?
Quoted from Hayfarmer:There's a good football game on if anyone is bored with this
The football game is Great, But this is making me laugh hysterically.
