Chances of persuading a company to sell an item with no warranty?
In the US a company produces a bow that I think is begging a custom paint job. Now its not planned to be released here which means importing 1. To buy 1 from a US supplier I'm looking at £700ish
Now bearing in mind the moment the bow leaves the US it will have no warranty, and certainly none after I pull it apart to paint it.
What are my chances of getting the manufacturers to sell me 1 with no warranty and at a reduced cost to reflect that?

Until its disassembled anyway. But in principal thats why I would say there is a slim chance.
They dont sell them with warranty as they expect to repair things, so the price of repair/replacement is spread to relect the number that get returned.

What is it? Recurve or compound?
Hoyt, normally do some outrageous colour schemes anyway
If its coming from the land of litigation, then you haven't got a hope in hell of getting
no warranty, implied or otherwise.
If its a recurve, then you may be ok, as its pretty straightforward, but if its a c
compound, then there are a few more bits to take off and rebuild.
Its prolly not so much the assembly / dissasembly, but what process are you going
to use to put the paint on?
I know its an extremley slim chance, but say you "two pack" it, and you structually
weakened the riser whilst baking the paint? and it failed in use.
Who would you think the fault lies with? the bow manufacturer for a faulty
product? ( it may be) or you for cooking the bow and introducing a potential
structural defect.
That said, i have a compound in the loft thats bare, it came as a plain riser, the idea
being, you painted it yourself,......now ive left it and its oxidised. lol

Mart, its the Rytera Alien X Which is 1 hell of a change for me, I'm a Horton Fanboy usually. Infact 1 of my hortons does have a custom job on it and gets finished in 3 weeks when the dealers back.
That 1 still has warranty, because I've kept him informed at every stage and he is happy to honour the it, obviously excluding the paint work.
PS, I know my bows inside and out, I am a firm believer if you can't repair and maintain it, you shouldn't be shooting it.
This is the Challenger is its EFAC paint job.
