    He probably didn’t think he would lose vendor status over repeated customer complaints and demonstrated poor customer service, but here we are :cool:

    Video guy is lucky his RTT didn’t come crashing down into his bedsides and off his truck. That would have been a hefty bill.

    This renews my faith that there is some justice in the world. The way that guy denied there was any problem with his product or customer service was insane.

    I'm somewhat local to kb and asked to pick up after paying for a rack and he refused. That was enough of a red flag for me to go to a different company. If you're afraid to allow in person pickups something is wrong. Glad i went with rci for my rack! Especially after seeing all of the rust and finish issues.

    Good I’m glad to see that.
    There was definitely something wrong with his product/customer service since this wasn’t an isolated issue.

    As a powdercoater this kills me... No pride in the work of whoever powder coated these parts, and shame on KBVoodoo for charging people for that terrible quality coating

    Yes hook marks are unavoidable, we don't wheel giant magnets around the shop that parts magically float over.

    But the hook marks are significantly bigger than they should be, an extra 10 seconds of attention to detail would fix that. As for the blotchy uneven texture... That would never make it out the door of my shop.

    Seems to have plenty of cash to trade in every 2 years for a new truck.

    I have been pleased with the tailgate cap and the Basket style bed rack I purchased from him.
    yes there is wear and tear.
    I am currently on crutches after breaking my foot in 3 places.
    The crutches fit inside the Basket rack perfectly...
    He definitely specializes in lightlycoated light duty racks and not heavy duty.

    Never heard a bad thing about the tailgate cap, lots of happy consumers on that one!

    I always thought their racks looked like they were made from a flimsy ass erector set.

    I personally find that to be a turn off and strong indication that you will have a unsupported rust pile much sooner than you think and "touch up paint" really? that is like saying "Hey we know our powder coat sucks" but here "have some plain ole paint to hide that for us will ya?" no that is just lame.

    I had to Line-X my tailegate cap. it was not good on arrival, bubbling and rust at the edges. A little relatively light use with some rain and the whole thing was a mess. I had fallen for the the "old coater bad, new coater good" routine. I wrote him and, having read on here about his response, I just thought, "Lesson learned". I didn't want to jump through a lot of hoops and then still be in the same boat with a poorly coated product. I got it coated and no rust, no chips from usage. The cap is a good concept, poorly finished. I am glad I have it now but the total cap was more that I would have paid.

    My rack was installed Feb 16th of this year. Today I noticed rust spots.. This rack has not yet had anything mounted to it, it has been through zero punishment as my build will not be complete until April 10th. Then let the games begin! I can not say I wasn't fore warned as I have read all the threads on VOODOO both good and bad. I know they have had rust issues in the past but have said on TW to all of us that this was no longer going to be an issue as they have switched powder coaters. Well this is not the case. I reached out to KB VooDoo, I sent them an email, Chad S responded with in minutes and requested pictures. I sent him 4 or 5 pictures and he responded back "Most likely rock chips have exposed a very tiny bit of bare steel. Use the included paint pen to touch those spots up. This is not a warranty situation. There is no fault in the powder coat, just simple wear and tear that should be touched up accordingly." One of the several pics I sent may be a rock chip, the rest definatly are not.

    I am not impressed. I would not recommend this product. They do not have their powder coat issue any were near being resolved. They lied to us all when they said they did.
