Detailed agreement, I brought in the fork to show him exactly how I wanted it. He took my name and phone number off a peice of cardboard box. What R.O's, he had no work orders.

This wasn't a major job as this was basic paint job. Just wanted to have my new fork painted and replace the decal in the exact factory position, simple as that. Didn't think he could screw it up! These are photos before and photos after. The first two photos are before the paint job as you can see the decals are lined up exactly parallel to the steer tube as I stressed to him. The two bottom photos are after what he calls his custom paint job. As you can see the decal on the right side of the fork in the third photo is more crooked then the left side as they are way off compared to the factory's positioning. Poor workmanship as he paid no attention to detal!
