Hi All

I just wanted to share my unpleasant experience with you all that are looking or thinking on getting your bike painted. I looked around for a good high quality show painter in the Northern California area since the beginning of summer. I have talked to several painters before choosing Joe Vasquez of Joe’s Bicycle Painting in Watsonville, CA http://www.joesbicyclepainting.com due to the fact he claims he has award winning quality finishes and is the factory painter for Calfee and Kestrel. I did some research and have nor heard neither good nor negative on him which I thought would be safe. I should have known to beware since I haven’t heard anything on him doing custom work either. Maybe some of you have used him and was satisfied with what he has done. For me it was just a totally mess to have contracted this paint job to a person who claims on his website that “All work is guaranteed to be free from defects in craftsmanship for 90 days. You'll love it or we'll fix it!”

This whole has taken about two months now and no progress which I'm going back to square one as this was a waste of time and money dealing with Joe's Bicycle Painting in Watsonville, CA This shop doesn’t follow through with the customer's needs, very unprofessional, no customer call back or contact, poor customer service as you constantly have call to check on progress and overall poor workmanship! So my word of advice is to beware when using Joe's Bicycle Painting in Watsonville, CA for a custom paint, but if you are looking for a simple Earl Scheib paint job maybe they may be capable of that, but anything above that beware.
