    Good Quality Setup

    Haven't used it yet, but the quality of the equipment is very good, not junky or garage made kits like others. Just waiting on more solutions I had to order after the fact. Product is good, customer service is leaving something to be desired. I think they know what their doing, but brush you off with canned emails and links. Time will tell. But as for equipment and setup, 5 stars all day.

    Worked perfect

    Got this kit to plate all the accent parts on a 1911 worked out beautifully 1st try ... (even skipped the practice piece and went straight to the project) as long as you get the prep work done right and follow the instrustions i dont see how you could mess up

    A pleasure to buy from. Excellent in every way

    I haven’t used it yet but I have gotten such excellent service from them. They have so much info with videos, written instructions, helpful people who you speak to when you call to ask questions, or when placing an order. You can submit questions about all products, right next to the item. I was so lucky that i saw this kit when I did , as i got this for $150 off..
    They pack your order very well and ship the same day.
    Just wish they would send an email with the daily sale items every day as they sell so many things and you have to look thru them all to see what is on sale.
    This is really a wonderful business as they run it the way businesses used to run. Terrific.
