SiNs and me.........

[68 Mag]

Hmmm, I wont be sending my mag to him. I'll either use some friend of my dad's or Red Rider...

[Blue 88]

I heard nothing but food stuff from evreyone who delt with him. I was actuly gonna ship my gun out for a $50 job at the end of the month. Guess ill hold off.

[Danny77]

up until now I have only heard good things from them.

I have emailed them several times in the past, and they seemed nice, and got back to me realy quick!

I dont know if I will do business with them now...

(I didnt know he was in canada!)

Based on some of the posts I read in the forum I too was going to have may RT Pro powdercoated by Sin. I even went so far as to develop a design and get a quote. I immediately ran into problem with getting Eric to reply to the many emails I sent him. I'm still waiting to hear back on how to ship my parts to him. You always like to give a guy the benefit of the doubt, but after reading about Army's experience and the subsequent posts I doubt I'll be doing any business with Sin

[MagDog68]

Just an observation, but weren't all of you people kissing SiN's butt like two months ago? It seemed everyone thought he could do no wrong until now.

I think I have seen about 400 posts bragging about awesome "Powder Jobs" from SiN Customs and not one complaint in my tenure on AO. Now all of a sudden everyone thinks the guy is a schmuck?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if half the people posting about SiN also never tried half the aftermarket parts they seem to have such expert opinions on.

I am sorry to hear about your lousy XP Army, but I guess this goes to show you can't always believe the HYPE!

MagDog. Good post. Since I'm fairly new to this forum I don't think I've kissed anyone's behind and I'm sure you're not trying to single anyone out for their comments, positive or negative. However, forums like this are a valuable source of information to people who play paintball both veterans and newbies alike (like myself). I don't think anyone is saying Eric is a schmuck but rather pointing out that some of the posts regarding SIN aren't entirely accurate. Maybe people ought to be smart enough not to post opinions about products unless they've actually used them. Hopefully, we'll get more of the folks who have had bad experiences post their opinions and threads like this get a little more balanced between pro and con. Then it's up to everyone to make up their own mind always remembering it's buyer beware. But if you do have a bad experience, it's always nice to let others know so they can avoid making the same mistake.

Very true MagDog. However, I have seen and touched Erics work before, and the pics on his website are another good example. Bad Brad had a wonderful job done to his Mag. Which is why I had no hesitation to send to him.

BUT, as you can see, I'm not the only one who has had problems. A small boo-boo I can forgive, that can be expected while doing cross-border business. The way he has treated me is reprehensible and I will be sure everyone knows to use SiNs at their own risk.

[MajorDamage]

Army, did you call them? Maybe they gave your gun a paintjob that was intended for another gun. Or did they send you the wrong gun maybe?

ENDO!

My cousin had a tigerstripe M98 done, and it looked *decent* although it was more of a copper color than an orange, and it scratches VERY easily. Drag a paperclip along the side of it with any pressure and it'll rip paint right off like it's latex.

Whenever I've tried to deal with him, or ask him questions etc., he's always been the smartass type and criticized any suggestions or request for suggestions while his site always mentions how it'll be done "your way". If "your way" involves splash, he'll refuse to do it because "he thinks it's ugly".

This is why when I have everything I want I'm going to spend the extra cash and go through PK selective for a nice, reliable fade ano job. It's kinda expensive for one gun, so I'll probably find someone else on this board who can agree to the same fade so we can get it done in bulk and split the costs.

[Army]

I tried to call twice, but no answer. Still got charged for the international charge!

No, it's my gun alright.

[MagDog68]

Army,
I am actually impressed that you went against the grain and told people what a lousy experience you had. Most people would just bite their tongues since SiN is such a god to most AOers.

I just wanted to point out that I have never seen anyone post anything bad about SiN before. Why did all these people wait so long to tell us he has questionable business practices?

Anyway, glad you spoke up Army. I think you should email SiN and tell him he is going to lose alot of business if he doesn't rectify your situation quickly and at his own expense.
