Default New Finish on an Old Bow

I sent my Bear Magnesium Take Down off to Precision Hydrographics (just bought by Big Jim's Camo Dipping) to be refinished. It's on the way back right now. I bought the limbs and handle separately. The limbs had someone try to do a refinish on them that turned out like a NIGHTMARE. The handle/riser was merely spray painted but was in need of a new finish and had some corrosion.
Lonnie posted some pictures of the finished product, here's before and after. When I get the bow home and can put it all back together I'll post more pictures.
BEFORE:
this is the picture posted on ebay

this is what it looked like in hand


Here's one of the limbs I had bought years earlier

AFTER:

Rob.

She turned out real sweet.

You would hardly think it was the same bow.
