I was surprised to say the least. Color isn't my only concern, but I never got to ask the other questions I had. He made it clear he wasn't interested in any more questions even though I only asked one! Anyway, if this Swain Tech is the best coating out there I'll use it anyway - how durable is it? Have any of you actually lived with it for a while? How is it to clean, does it chip easily with rocks, tools, etc..? Any info is appreciated. Thanks also for the info on Sanderson - I'll give them a shout as well.

Did you ask for Dan Swain? I will place a call to them for you. I don't want to hear that crap when I refer someone to a vender even if they do good work. PM me with your name and phone number and if he doesn't call you to answer questions and apologize; kindly advise me accordingly. I hate that BS and BTW, I didn't experience anything, anywhere close to that kind of service.
From my experience in 2 years and 2600 miles including racing, it's very durable. I have 2 small chips that I touched up with 2 squirts of VHT. The Swain color is not a white/white; it's closer to an egg shell white (DON, confirm that for me). I recoated mine black. Frankly; you can also coat over with a VHT white and make it ANY blend of white you want. It's a textured ceramic so the overcoat adheres easily. Then I top coated with VHT CLEAR COAT for added protection. It took all of 45 minutes for me to do out in the driveway on a Sunny day. Not a big deal.
I am sorry to hear you had an issue. I will get it rectified.
