Yea, I really hate that, especially when working on a customer car. Great example is calipers from NAPA. Order a pair, one comes in beautiful, powder coated black, really nice. The other side is raw iron, you know it will be a rusted mess in 2 weeks. Now what's a technician to do? I took them back to NAPA and said either re-order or give me a free can of paint. They were happy to supply paint. Just another example of the inconsistent crap they are stuck with.
