Default Powdercoating My Roll Cage For 3 Months

Hi All,
As above my Cusco cage has been at the coaters since before Christmas, is this normal? I went to collect it a month ago after lots of pestering & it was battleship grey instead of silver. He agreed he'd screwed up & would do it again, but I'm sick of waiting now. I could take it elsewhere but I imagine it will now cost even more to strip the coating. The Cage was £300 & I doubt he'll buy it off me so I can get another so I'm pretty shafted now.

I'm near Nottingham, he quoted me £100 but when I went to collect he wanted £150 which I refused as it's a total f##k up. He'll probably want more again next time I go to see him.

Total Wheel Works do all sorts of stuff powder coating.. not just alloys (where I had my orange ones done on Dec last year) they're only off the Colwick Loop road near Virgin Media.

£100 is acceptable , £150 over the top , we own a powder coating company (armadillo power coating) in Birmingham , it's only a small company but turns over high volume and nothing Is in the building longer that 4-5 days

Yes that's what I thought. The bloke acts like he's doing me a favour & I'm out of order for trying to rush him after 3 months. I'm going to take it elsewhere now & once Iv got it back I'm naming him on here.
