    Default Are the new target Elites spray painted?

    I saw my first Tour today in orange. I was very disapointed in the finish. Why are they not anodized? Why are they $200 more for target colors than black or camo if their not anodized? They look spray painted. There were bubbles and lines in the finish on the limbs. Yea, bubbles! I am really bummed about this. Im thinking of changing the one I have on order to all black.

    The Slime green finish on my Tour is immaculate. Have you talked to your dealer about the finish?

    BTW, I believe the risers are powder-coated and the cams are anodized.

    Here's my Slimer:

    they are powder coated.

    the 200.00 up charge is also for the bright dip cams and limb pockets ect... if you saw a bad one its a first i have heard of and i am sure they will stand behind it 100 %!

    I hope so guys. Maybe it was just a bad one that slipped through. I love Elite, but this bow does not look good!

    Get in touch with the dealer and have him communicate the issue to Elite. They'll make it right!

    The dealer sold the bow to the customer that what he has to do with it haha. But Elite should take care of it whether going straight to them or dealer!
    Lots of Elites!

    Any concern a buyer has about their bow should go to their dealer. The dealer sold the bow, they should work with Elite to make the customer 110% satisfied. Fairly simple concept.
