Long story short. I made an agreement with Eric Ollis the CEO of FTW PC that in exchange for a perfect, speedy powder coat job I would provide them rights to produce 10 reservoirs of 2 designs. I drew up the designs and provided them in advance of the powder coat service on good faith. They claim that the missing trim panel never arrived. That is impossible. They claim the powder I provided was defective and resulted in and unacceptable finish. That is a remote possibility, more likely the powder guys they use are not up to the task of applying complex finishes. I directed them to strip the parts to bare metal. They decided to save time and money and sand the parts and coat over them resulting in many of the parts having a pink cast. The end of the story is FTW PC got to make and sell my reservoirs even though they did a piss poor job for me. And to add insult to injury Eric Ollis stole a proprietary design for a reservoir that I described to him and claimed it as his own work with no mention of me at all. I made the mistake of trusting him and discussing a future project with him in greater detail than was prudent. I attempted to put a cease and desist on FTW PC about the reservoirs and then Eric put me over the barrel by saying he would not return the parts unless either I paid close to a thousand dollars in trumped up fees and labor charges or I gave him written permission to make the 2 sets of 10 reservoirs. Rather than screw over my client I provided the written permission. FTW PC is not a trustworthy provider of service.

You mean only 10 are going to be sold.

diluzio's review site seems to give FTWPC a lot of positive 5/5 ratings.

It doesn't look like it would be hard to make.

Have you contacted a lawyer? Couldn't hurt to ask if they think you have a case.
