HOLY CRAP - we now have brown sand AND green sand!

That sand green is awesome. the sand brown is a bit underwhelming in the picture, but looks like it could be good for a CE-1 look at least

I just received my latest order that had matte black sand texture and it looks like they switched their supply. This time around they were much more "sandy", if that makes sense. Flatter look, zero sheen, more texture. The plastic wrap around the enclosures was also different, but thankfully easier to take off. I'll try to get some comparison pictures shortly.

How did it go btw, did it take 3 weeks? I would like to get a few matte blacks, but I guess I'll go with sand if it takes a very long time.
Edit: Hmm, it almost makes it sound like it was an ordering thing and that it doesn't actually take three weeks to paint the pedals with that color? Very weird wording. Currently it says:
"This color production can take longer time than other colors, we recommend ordering MATTE BLACK SAND TEXTURE for nice finish and long term availability"
Which I think was already there earlier too.

It took about a month total between when I placed the order and when it shipped (June 25-July 24). This was ~10 custom enclosures, half drilled, mostly different paint colors, and some random parts. I think 1-2 enclosures had bubbling and had to be redone, which added a few days. So it wasn't that bad, given that it's like 2 weeks normally for an order like that.

It does really depend on which color you choose, they are definitely catching up after the pre-tariff crunch. My last order (Sept 1) took a week total to get to me, much faster than my orders in July/August. You can check with them (contact link on their website) to see whether your desired colors are backed up or in stock.

Eh, I was in no rush and I picked the cheapest colors that I liked. I am surprised they didn't add any tariffs though.

Wow, lucky you!
My order was ~$120, and shipping/tariffs added ~$33.
It won't break the bank, of course. But it's annoying knowing that few jobs will ever come to the US because of this, so the tariffs really are just a new revenue source to justify tax cuts for the ultra rich.

FWIW, it's now been two weeks since my order of 13 enclosures (10 drilled and printed), and they would probably be ready today, except one (which was printed before the others) failed the QC, and now it seems an another one of the last batch has failed QC too.
So possibly two weeks for an order if they didn't fail QC, seems like they've caught up quite nicely.
For the record there was a picture of one QC failure (first time I've seen one) but I don't see any issues in it. or at least not in the huge red circle.
Edit: They did include a pic of the second failed print too, that one clearly shows a bubble
As a downside it seems I fucked up the colors a little, but I'll live

More new colors
Metallic Brown. Looks nice. Hopefully it’s not as dark in person— I’d love a nice translucent rootbeer brown. Something along the lines of the Boss OC-2 or Mad Professor “1”

Oh interesting. I agree with you regarding the shade. A slightly deeper glimmer brown sugar would be great.
Anybody ordered the Chrome Green, I don't remember it being mentioned here and my last order was like 9 months ago.

FWIW this order finally shipped today, a month after ordering. But to be fair, that was caused by the single (chromium) enclosure failing like three times and having to be redone, so it entered another wait cycle too (I assume due to batching of the enclosures).FWIW, it's now been two weeks since my order of 13 enclosures (10 drilled and printed), and they would probably be ready today, except one (which was printed before the others) failed the QC, and now it seems an another one of the last batch has failed QC too.

I’m hoping that they’re more discerning about the new powders they add, and that this is more in line with the candy colors and golds instead of the oh so fragile chromium and ball silver

These two are new too, right?

Funny, I've ordered both and they've been shipped too.
