one of each color was taken back to the powder coater last week to re-coat and try some different techniques. Each color needs a different technique because they are different types of powder, for example the grey used is a polyurethane. Our test pieces all came out well and have given the go ahead to coat the rest of them.

This is getting a bit frustrating can we get a better timeline? We paid money for product, we knew it would take time but not getting timeframes or feeling like we are getting a run around is frustrating. I'm seriously contemplating whether these are worth the wait...

What timeline did they give you and what timeline have you told them? I know tomorrow is Christmas but a month ago it sounded like we'd be seeing these sooner than Christmas.

I drop stuff off at my powdercoater on Wednesday and pick them up on Friday. The most I've ever had to wait to get stuff powdercoated is a week and that was because of a huge production order they were doing. Also, any good powdercoater should know the material they are spraying and it shouldn't be a "well they have to use different techniques so it's really an experiment" thing. Hope you guys get yours before it's been a year since this thing started. Next time hopefully P&P can figure stuff out before subjecting their customers to being Guinea pigs

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like someone is learning to powder coat to me.

Cutting down to the bare metal here; have you guys tried calling them and started documenting your attempts to do so?

It's pretty clear P&P doesn't check this thread as often as some people do or expect them to do, so try reaching them through Facebook message, email, or calling. I know it's annoying to hear that sometimes, but honestly, if you want some type of resolution, you need to start preparing for a bad outcome.

I can't believe the powder coat bit, too. Sounds like another time buyer excuse

With that being said they were supposed to go to powder coating in March of 2015....

It's almost Jan of 2016.

They seemed pretty focused on getting the money and product delivered to one or two people. But frankly that's diminished and I don't care who you are this whole thread constitutes as documenting.

I really don't want it to come to that considering I myself got my payment in late. So I'm not nearly as out as the rest but I sure as hell don't want this to hit April of 2016 before I get them. I have a kid on the way and 300 buys a crap ton of diapers.

Ok when I finally got mine it's because I was calling and emailing and PMing them. Finally I asked if I could get them bare and finally got a set. Normally they wouldnt answer an email and you couldn't leave a message because the voicemail was full. Hopefully this will get taken care of and everyone will get what they paid for.

How about that update?

I see your post about frontier transfer case skid plate that was posted yesterday. I think that can wait till these corners are handled top priority.

I do know for a fact that they had some issues with powder coating.. I talked with Mac the other day on the book of face.. They just found a new powder coater this past week.. I guess the last guy F-ed up some colors or something...

I will be keeping a eye out on this thread..

Thanks Dave for staying on top of this.

An update of any sort is all we ask for as paying customers.

Hope to have a solid timeline soon.

I just got shipping confirmation email.....did anyone get it?

Maybe that is P&P's/Mac's way of giving you the update you have been requesting for the past month.

This group buy started almost one year ago and its still not completed. Requests for updates from paying customers are completely ignored.

Based on what I have observed in this thread, on the "Faceplant" Xterra group page, and on P&P's own page, P&P is no better than Xoskel or Insain Fab - a lot of empty promises. I will never do business with this company.

I hope you finally get your corners and that they are properly fabricated and powdercoated. Good luck getting any satisfaction from P&P if they aren't.

Sorry to stick my nose in this, but I've read every update to this thread.

Playing devil's advocate - isn't it possible that the guys at P&P just...don't check this forum EVERY day to see that everyone has been asking for updates? Obviously I understand how long it's been; my point is that perhaps this is the wrong media / communication outlet to get updates from them. Seems a bit ridiculous to think that they're just flat-out reading posts and ignoring them.

There should be several emails gone out.



There were no updates posted since the update about powder because there were no updates to post. It's been the holidays and they are out of my hands. We don't powder coat in house.
