I've had several people say not to order them with the ceramic coating. Have you contacted RARE to see if they will warrant the coating?
Yes, I contacted Paul at RARE before Christmas and sent him these pictures. He said they would re-coat them for me if I paid shipping. I got him to agree to pick up the shipping (one way). Unfortunately, shipping from Canada with duties, brokerage, etc. would still be quite expensive... I'm still debating what to do. Paul has always been very good to deal with. This is an unfortunate situation. Trevor
