I had Vanilla Gorilla Powder coat my wheels and I have to say he did a great job. That being said, the owner ( Tiger Ray ) dropped the ball when I had to have them fixed because Firestone Tires marked up the wheels with there tire install machine. For six weeks they just sat there and he came up with more excuses why he couldn't get to them. The best one was he sat in jail all weekend and couldn't get out. His phone was turned off there for awhile, so I couldn't get ahold of him. Knowing this about the man, I don't think I would trust him with anymore powder coating jobs and neither should you trust him...............

Ray has been doing race parts for me for years. I've always been satisfied with his work and I'm hard to please.

This man is corrupt.He is NOT A PROFESSIONAL.He does NOT stand behind his work.DO NOT USE HIM!Worse yet- he's dishonest.DO NOT USE HIM.If he was the last Powder Coater on Earth-I wouldn't use him.He has cost me so much $$$ to rectify the wayshe has wronged me-and the number of hours spent trying to get home to rectify his poor work- has led me to..........well-I chose not to threaten him here.Just look at these pictures- you can "see" the fine quality of my work- yet- when I took my pre-polished Steel Furnishings to be coated-he destroyed them.And- then- tried to blame "My Steel"...excuse me??

(Tiger)Ray IS A OUTRIGHT THIEF!! This ordeal started in April 2013. When I did a Web search for high performance engine coatings and "Vanilla Gorilla Coatings Systems" popped up. So I dialed the # and (Tiger)Ray answered. I explained to him that I have two supercharger rotors that I wanted to have coated with "Tech-Line Coating's" TLML & TLMB. He explained to me that he has never worked with either of those two coatings. And that he would call "Tech-Line" for the price and the procedure for applying the coatings and that he would get back to me with the info. He calls me back and we agreed on a price of $450.00 plus return shipping to coat both rotors and for the remainder(1qt.each)of the two chemical coatings. Also,that he would pay for shipping the two chemical coatings to me.(I thought,"Hmm...OK,that's cool!") Next,he says "Send me a money order!" "Pack everything up, send it by USPS, put money order and return postage in package and I'll call you when it arrives on my end." Friday March 29,2013 I shipped out the pkg. Tuesday April 2,2013 pkg was delivered. I waited for a few days for his call,..no call! OK,that's fine. So I call him, no answer! A week passes,no call! So I give him the benefit of the doubt thinking he's on vacation or maybe in the hospital or something. Another week passes with me calling on odd days and leaving messages on his voicemail...NO answer! Hmm,that's strange!(I'm starting to worry!) So I ask a friend(from a different state/area code)to call him while I'm on the other line(3way)...And BOOM!!Guess who answers?..(Tiger)Ray! Alive & well!...AND STILL doing business! He hears my voice and he IMMEDIATELY hangs up! So now he's hiding & screening his calls! Hmm...OK. My suspicions where true! So I ran a tracer on the $450.00 Money Order I sent him and...BAAM!! He deposited it on April 8,2013 with his signature on the back stamped PNC BANK. WHAT A CROOK!! I'm guessing he didn't think his thievery through thoroughly. He must have took me for a fool! Not knowing that I could trace EVERYTHING!! Well,I will use every method available(Social Media/Forums/etc.) To exposed the thievery antics behind Vanilla Gorilla Coating Systems! (Tiger)Ray you've got the wrong one brother! You just stole from an Honest Hard working man!...Watch out for Karma! You KNOW how the saying goes!

if you want to have headaches, get lied to, get your item partially coated in twice the time quoted, go to this guy. If you want to avoid all that, avoid this guy at all costs. Imagine worst case nightmare scenario that can happen, this guy will beat it, I guarantee it.Service: PaintingService: Painting
