Dude, I'm nobody here, and this is only opinion based on what I've been reading here, but here it is.
You should stop. Now. You're not making a good case for yourself, and the more you say the worse you get. Because if I understand correctly you've sold the rims? And you still want a refund? Hopefully I'm just confused by your poor spelling and grammar, and how your anger is confusing the story.
If I've learned anything from this thread its that I may get TJ to do work for me if the time comes. I sense integrity, believe it or not. Some people are just impossible to deal with. I know. I deal with the type who cannot be pleased pretty often.
I know what will make you happy. It goes something like this:
You get the paint job redone, complete and perfect.
You get all your money back.
You get everything delivered once it's finished.
TJ gets fired.
The shop gets closed.
The only thing missing is something about a personal injury lawyer. Give it time.
You're not winning sympathy here.
Just sayin'.

Sounds to me like the OP is kinda not all there.
Seems like he's way too picky.
The pictures he posted are not even that bad, you probably wouldn't notice once the tires are on and the rims are on the bike.
My rims on a 2006 bike have more scratches than that and I barely see them even when I'm cleaning them.
I thought I was picky, sheesh...
OP, you should have your rims powder coated, they come out perfect if done right and they're more tolerable to scratches/scuffs.
Contact JohnnyP636, he'll hook you up.
:lmao:
MPS when you get them just right make sure you take em to rosey toes to get your rims installed, he'll hook you up
Also, I should add that he's complaining about the rims.....which I charged 100 dollars to do.
There's the proof I agreed to refund him. And he proof he got his labour money back, why is this thread still here ?
Obviously it’s to warn people about doing business with shady people….Not you Carbon
TBH on this board I have never once seen any one have any issues with carbon. Nothing but great reviews. Now OP’s posts up and carbon seems to have pics a documents that refute the story. Should be a warning to others doing business on these boards stay away from OP.
OPI just left TJs shop after picking up 2 sets of bodywork. I cannot say a bad thing about the workmanshipor service (other than I actually had to pay for my paint job).First, I am in the paint and coating business. I have been for 25 years. I am by education and training a coating inspector. I have been accepted many times in Ontario courts as an expert witnesss for paint and coating issues.Second I saw and ivisually reviewed your body work that you weren't happy with. I have seen photos of the rims before you picked them up. I saw your photos that you first sent and now I see your photos that you attach here.What I see are chips in the finished paint job that now appear to have been touched up with a red paint that does not match the original paint.I conclude that you accepted the finished rims and unfortunately you accidently chipped them. When it was pointed out to you that this was the case you attempted to paint over the chipped areas with a non matching paint and have know changed your story from these spots being "miisses" to "deficient works"Your story and attempts do not sit well with me.

This thread is obviously B-S.
TJ was helpful beyond expectations with me. I inspected the work as soon as he took gave it to me and was happy with the work. After I saw 2 of the parts, I was ready to just put it in my car... but TJ went through each individual part with me to show me what he had done in detail. Even when I went home, I checked everything out and it was more than satisfied.
The OP has no one but to blame himself for his idiocy and OCD (seriously, trading in painted rims for stock rims? You could have sold them for a profit, or at least to break even). Don't blame others for your behavioural problems.

Alrighty then... Looks like we're done here 
Ok, I read the entire thread ( Don't ask me why ) but I would like to ask one question for clarification. OP if you are so picky as stated a few times, why did you not bother to spend 30 seconds to look over the rims while still within the shop?
This is the part I am struggling with, can you clarify?
He probably did and they were fine. Then chipped the paint while mounting tires and decided it was somehow TJ's fault. Then he found 'other' flaws.
Just a hypothesis.
My Fireblade bodywork that I picked up at TJ's shop last night just happened to be the same colour as your wheels.....and looks fantastic I might add. When I dropped fairings off, I wasn't sure what shade of red I wanted........but once in his shop, I chose the colour based on the gorgeous Ducati rims that I spotted in his shop. I looked them over, and they were like glass! I was amazed that he even had the coating machined off of contact surfaces for a perfect installation on the bike. TJ is a very thorough guy indeed. Just made me happier I chose him to paint all 3 sets of fairings for me.
At the time I had no idea whose wheels they were, I just loved the colour and they looked better than OEM finish to me. Way better even than the Brembo wheels on my KTM.
Looks to me like someone was a little less than vigilant putting them into the trunk, or maybe tried to test fit them and dinged them against a caliper on the bike.....and is now trying to blame the workmanship instead of his own indiscretion and get a freebie.
Seems the orig poster has a habit of sourcing out work, accepting items back, happy enough with them to leave the shop...then afterwards, coming up with complaints and reasons to require a refund. Not a repair, a refund. If a customer is TRULY unhappy with a job, they would prefer a repair rather than a refund. Zebras and stripes and all that. And even though, in my mind that would qualify the customer as a theif of sorts, TJ even went way beyond his duty, sucked it up and gave you more money back than he kept? The money he kept wouldn't even pay for materials and machining.
Lets say, for conversation's sake, that I have already spoken to the last shop you posted a glowing review of, then later, you called him and threatened to post up a negative review if he didn't return at least $1000 to you? Many of us aren't new here, or new to motorcycles. Stop before you dig that hole any deeper. Go find a rock. Crawl under it.
