Beware: ChromeOzone Coating located in Miami, Florida.
Just a quick heads up to make everyone aware of a situation I ran into with our R8 Project The one and only hang up we've had with the project has been with the wheels.
Based on our experience: we recommend you all avoid ChromeOzone Plating at all costs. (spread the word & please share this on your Facebook wall and any other forums you think might benefit so Google will pick it up in search.)
Without telling an unnecessarily long story: we referred a company out of Miami named ChromeOzone Plating (
http://chromeozoneplating.com/) run by a guy named Jahmal Wright to our client to apply a spray-able red chrome effect finish.
For nearly $2000, he was supposed to strip and refinish the wheels completely, but when he delivered the wheels they were terrible. Not only did he simply not finish the job, but they also had black spots all over the red chrome UNDER the clear coat, so I couldn't even wet sand them down to clean them up, PLUS he completly missed some spots as they we sprayed.
We also lat found out he sprays outdoors on the ground in front of his shop.
Check it out:
To make matters worse, when we started working on the wheels to paint the barrel and clean up his mess, the chrome started peeling off. It turns out, he never prepped the stock wheel. He simply sprayed over the OEM finish, leaving the chrome with nothing to grab on to.
Our client met with him to resolve the issue, which resulted in even more issues with this company, but the more we have personally dealt with the wheels, the more problems we encountered. So, we're simply going to let our client deal with it as a civil matter and we're going to buy an Alsa Corp chroming system to do the work ourselves. At least that way it'll get done right.
I'll keep everyone posted as it develops.
