    Blue Jumper VSP Labs

    I have a terrible time finding a VSP lab that does excellent finish work. Too many of the labs I have used for VSP work ruin zyl frames and do inferior work on metals.

    Does anyone have recomendations for a good VSP lab?:hammer:

    Yes, Luzerne does good work. They are a little higher priced than some; however, if you are looking for good work (above ANSI stds, good cosmetics, etc), then you pay a little more. My past employer used a lab (not Luzerne) of their choice and that lab did marginal work, at best. I spent more time with re-dos and tracking down jobs than I care to admit. In the long run, and inferior lab will cost you more, so you may as well pay a little more upfront and get the better quality work. JMHO
