Message	Went and dropped of my suspension to get powdercoated at Pristine Powder Coating in Denver, CO. I told the guy I needed it done before I left the country and he assured me it wouldnt be an issue. Well, it ended up being an issue to say the least. He wasnt able to deliver on time, and I told him it wasnt a huge deal because I wouldnt be able to drive the car now anyway since Im out of the country. I dropped off the suspension in December. The suspension JUST got completed. If you have 3 months to do a 1 week job, this place is an attractive option. Otherwise, Id go elsewhere. I think the finish came out nicely and the price was very reasonable. Pics: Now, I *do* have a slight concern. The bushings....As far as I can tell, the rubber portion looks like its in the same condition as when I dropped it off. But there is clearly poweder coating on the cylindrical pin in the center. Is this something I should be concerned about and address? Pic:
