Tirado Custom Coatings ??? Still alive??

Anyone know if these guys are still in business? Sent 2 emails last week, still no response. PM'd them on here... no response. Called multiples times, left a voice mail no response. I saw they have an order forum online, but what's the point of sending 2-3k worth of parts to be powder coated, and never see them again.

Can anyone recommend another powder coating service, looking to get valve cover coated, and brembo's coated/rebuilt (new seals, ect)

Thanks in advance!

Save on shipping since they're close to you, reasonable prices and definitely know what they're doing.

You could also consider Justin at Detective Coatings. He does great work. He is even getting into nyrdographics now too. Im getting a valve cover done with the hydrographics as we speak.

I've emailed TTC back in July just for a quote at 1am and he got back to me around noon that day. *shrugs* never took it any further than that but I was pleased with the prompt reply.
