called in to see the powder coat company today
he could clearly see what the problem was but couldn't (or wouldn't) say what caused it
he innitially offered to polish it out, to which I politely refused with the comment that if the coat is soft, polishing it may remove the blemishes, but will only re-appear when I next wash them
giving that a little though later.....how can you polish out scratches on Powder Coat - surely its way too hard for that ??
anyway - he has agreed to re-do them from scratch (no pun intended)
I've just got to give up a day off work and hang around Swansea for 8 hours (not a pleasant thought)
