John, Could you be a little more specific as to what types of problems you are seeing? What kind of testing are you doing? As far as the appearance of the coating is concerned, in most cases the appearance will be flat and not shiny. I would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have about the OMIKRON finish. I have done extensive testing on the OMIKRON process and am familiar with many of the shops running it. I have heard no negative results from anyone and would be very interested in speaking with you regarding your concerns. Stephen M. Wentz Florida CirTech Inc.
