Hello!
Hope 2020 finds you all well!
I had one of my sets of Dinan wheels refinished by Jed Peneda at Einhorn Industries near Los Angeles California( August of '18 he appeared to be the goto guy for the refurb on my wheel project).
I've seen what appears to be some brilliant work from Jed(all in photographs,none in person). His work appeared to be solid and communication started off great.
He first he said he could do the oem chrome shadow spokes and a polished lip(sounded like he had done it before and had it down).
He then said (after he had made several attempts that "it couldn't be done").
I was not informed at any time that my wheels were going to be the ginnea pig for Jed to do chrome shadow with polished lips on Dinan/Champion wheels.
I agreed to have them silver powdercoated spokes and polished lips after he attempted to lay the blame on me for his process not working.
After I got the wheels back I found that quite a few off the shelf waxes and polishes remove the supposed powdercoating on the wheels.
I have always detailed the powdercoating jobs I have had done in the past which is in the thousands spent on calipers,style 65 wheels,motorcycle frames,hubs,sway bars,springs,engine cases,triple clamps,jetski parts etc).
Not one other part that I have had powdercoated looks like Jeds "powdercoating" and none of it has ever come off with wax or polish and as a matter of reference it took over 100 hours of riding my dirtbike for my boots with mud and sand to wear thru the powdercoating to the bare aluminum frame.
I have loads of experience with powdercoating and Jeds work appears to be rattle can paint compared to all of the other PC i've had done.
Jed offered to redo them with more of the same which I thought was pointless because of how easy the finish comes off with just wax.
Jed has been very unreasonable with making this right for me(He spewed a load of filth at me on Messenger which I'll post later).
He will not provide a receipt,invoice or work order of any kind for the work done.
Jed has "ghosted" me and Shady Hassan now speaks for him( mostly name calling and he had a meltdown and banned me from the FB group).
Shadys name calling and childlike behavior on FB is a little strange since it not any of his business(unless he wants to send me the $1200 I have in the project).
Why can't Jed speak for himself?
Why can't Jed work with me to resolve this problem with work he farmed out to someone else?
There are others with the same problem with the powdercoating done by "Jed" they will speak for themselves.
Your opinions are wanted on this situation and how we should resolve it!
Thanks for any and all input!
Happy New Year!
