There is obviously a desperate attempt to find POWDERCOATJOSH, mainly due to his dissapearance from the forums and mainly everywhere. According to some dissapointed customers, he has about $1500 in parts that are still pending to be delivered (some which are passed due promise fullfilment dates by 3 and 4 months) reported, and probably thousands of dollars in parts that belong to other customers that have not yet posted about this here.

The following posts are from the powdercoatingworld forums from desperate customers that need help finding this guy. I thought that I would copy the distress signal onto this site for if anyone else can help they can contact these customers...

Here they are...

I'm currently going insane with fustration - I've been without parts that were sent to Greg/Josh since May!

Powdercoating World had my MAF/TB and full set of Valve Covers for almost 5 months now. I'm currently out all my parts and almost 300.00 PLUS I have a 3L project on hold because I need those parts for the build.

Every email I have sent has gone ignored - every PM that I have sent on CEG either says "so sorry they will go out Monday" or again goes ignored. Any phonecall goes directly to an answering machine which never states who its for.

WHO CAN I CONTACT TO GET MY PARTS DONE AND SENT BACK? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Join the gang of desperate customers. Me and Sam have both been trying to get a hold of this guy for months at a time sometimes. Voicemails, text messages, PMs, posts, calls... nothing seems to work. I know... it's not easy. I sold both my stock bumpers to him and need my stock foglamp brackets and Sam needs actual money from a good faith fractional payment for his parted out SVT's tranny. Ridiculous at this point. Me and Sam are planning to get a hold of him via other ways at the moment. I will let you know if we get through.

I'm in the same situation. I sent a spare set of valve covers i had, my svt UIM and throttlebody, that section of intake that the iac hose attaches to, and my MAF and MAF adapter last June. My order totaled over $400.

At first communication wasn't bad. But then i was told that his oven took a [censored] on him and he had to build a new one. Since then i've barely gotten a reply from him. All of my emails have been ignored. And almost all my PM's to him on the CEG forums have gone unanswered as well. But then i finally got a PM from him on there on the 8th of August:

Status is COMPLETE ---thank god !!! Will send you tracking info ASAP



Happy that he was finally done i waited for shipping info...which never came. So, i started the whole emailing/PM'ing process over again. To which he never replied to them...again. Then, i get an email on the 25th of August in which he said:

OK man , I finally got all the BS out of the way and all your stuff done .....want a pic of your TB and UIM ? just for a tease



At this point i'm a bit aggravated so i email him back and said that i don't care for a pic, i just want my stuff back.
Now, here we are, a month later and STILL NO [censored] WORD FROM HIM!
Thankfully, somebody gave me his phone numbers since he doesn't list them on his site. But, like nvmycat said, all i get is a machine to which the person doesn't even identify themselves. It's just "We're not here, leave a message." Hell, for all i know i'm leaving messages at some strange dudes house. The cell number isn't any better...
I don't wish to start flaming him or to start a hate thread here. I just want my stuff finished and back in my hands. It's been almost 4 months now. I want to know what the hell is goin on. Is my stuff finished or not, and if so, what the hell is taking him so long to ship my stuff back to me.
Also, i'd like to add that at present moment my car has no MAF or IAT sensor. The MAF is with him and the IAT is just sitting out in the open. There is no place to put it as my intake consists of a stock UIM/throttlebody, then goes to the accordion tube and then strait to a cone filter. I don't want to cut the accordion just so i can put the IAT sensor back in the intake path. Where as my car is still driveable, it's just not a good idea to drive it a lot. So i only start and drive it if absolutely necessary. I absolutely need these parts back now. The body work is almost complete and i don't want to have to drive it back home without those intake pieces if i can help it. I could have it towed, i supposed. But i really don't want to see my fresh body work and paint screwed up by some hillbilly jackass that don't give a [censored].
So if you guys happen to get a hold of him. Let me know how. Because at this point i'm considering taking some vacation and flying down to pay him a visit...



If anyone else is in the same position as these folks please post your details here, and additionally post any contact details you may know regarding Josh. Josh came onto this site as a very knowledgeable and helpful member and was even a nice guy in person but has not shined when it comes to delivering what he promises and has excecuted poor business ethics. There are many unhappy customers out there still waiting 5 months and others with 3 liter projects on hold because of this.

Thanks for your cooperation...
