I mentioned that I would be sending the bottle of paint along with the instruments in my request-for-quote to each of the venders, and along with that a detailed list of exactly what did and did not need to be done. The guy at Williamsons did leave the guage needles un-painted as I had instructed. I also told him that we didn't need to paint the clock hands, but that became moot upon discovering that my clock was not salvageable. So he used another '55 Ford Westclox, and he DID paint those clock hands with my fluorescent orange paint. Fine with me, since he had it all apart anyway, but I could not have complained if he didn't. I simply would have removed the bezel and lens and painted the hands myself when I received the shipment. That's no big deal.
My complaint about lack of communication is that several weeks and months were passing by beyond when he had previously told me everything would be finished, more than once. This caused me to believe that maybe the shipment got lost in the mail.
