LOL. Well, I don't know what to think about KR. I emailed them and
explained my situation and asked if they thought they might be able to help.
I didn't ask for an exact quote, just if they thought they might be able to
take a shot at it. This is the cryptic response I got:

"Hi,send dialyou want to have refinish,we dont need any problems.
We will call you when we receive your dial.
Thanks for the inquiry"

I'm not sure of what to make of that "we dont need any problems". I called
them and they said something about not needing the trouble and that they
wouldn't be willing to tell me anything unless they had it in their hands.
I think maybe they are worried that I am just one of those can't-be-pleased
troublemakers running from one shop to another just for the fun of causing
problems.

So, the search continues I guess.
