I have done so - contacted them earlier today and nothing could be done really, besides returning the product and rinse an repeat, another two tone pistol with the iron sights painted up - found out that the two tone service done by Patrol Base isn't high quality by design and that irritates me ... if it isn't high quality then don't advertise the pistol in a picture where the two tone service most certainly wouldn't be a quick 'low quality' two tone job. I ordered this: Not this: Why have what would be a photoshopped image as the 'preview' for a service they obviously don't provide. However, the customer service dude was very nice ... and cute sounding =D so thats a plus. He' apologised a whole bunch, explained why and what my options were, so ... contemplating at the moment if I should return it, or just say 'hell with it' and just try to find a replacement Slide and Iron Sights, surely wouldn't be too hard and would let me get some experience in stripping my beginner pistol an replacing parts! Plus would give me a two tone slide as a sacrificial slide to strip its paint and see if I can do some of my engraving skills on it.

Sorry for putting this in the wrong place. I'll be doing that, rather disappointing first purchase, not only was it not the pistol I ordered, they did the paint job so bad that the iiidddy biddy tiny iron sight screws are quite literally glued in place, besides - pretty sure the pistol advertised did NOT have the iron sights caked in paint. The paint even rubs off on my hands when I pull the slide.

Recently purchased this neat pistol - for its price, pretty decent, full metal with some pretty nice grips. However I have abit of an issue, I ordered it from PatrolBase, pretty sure I ordered a 'Black & Silver' Raven MEU, and yet here I am, with a Tan Raven MEU ... and since its two tone ( Hence why I went for an apparently good quality cheaper pistol. ) Well returns an all that are out of the question, but what gets me the most is the two tone finish ... its terrible, so very bad, so bad I had to softly sand down the paint on the slide rails as the paint was layered on so god damn thick it stopped the slide from cycling. now, I get it - its just a £90 pistol, decent enough - but any advice on how I should go about stripping the paint from the slide? they even painted the iron sights 'without removing them' so the small allan screws are just filled to the brim with paint.
