Thank you for choosing Mount This Fish Company to create your custom painted full mount fish replica. We value your trust and are committed to delivering a lifelike, accurate depiction of your prized catch. In order to streamline our processes and enhance convenience, we have decided to consolidate our project updates into a single blog post, allowing you to easily review the progress of your replica. This blog post will serve as a dedicated platform where we post the pictures for your review and approval. To ensure confidentiality, we will use the invoice number provided at the time of purchase to title each picture review.

Reviewing Your Photos: Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, which is why we encourage you to carefully examine the photos we provide. These images serve as a visual representation of your customized replica and allow you to provide your valuable feedback. To initiate the review process, please send an email to proofing@mountthis.net, indicating your approval for shipping or any suggested revisions you may have.

Important Considerations: Before submitting your approval, question, or revision request, we kindly request that you read the following information:

1. Attention to Detail: At Mount This Fish Company, our talented artists meticulously study your reference photos to expertly recreate the details of your catch. However, please note that not every spot, marking, or blemish will be included in the replica unless specifically requested and confirmed beforehand.
2. Lighting Conditions: In our endeavor to provide you with the best possible visuals, we strive to capture the photos outdoors. However, residing in Florida means we often contend with unpredictable weather, which sometimes necessitates capturing the images in our well-equipped paint booth. Regardless of the location, please be aware that white glare marks may appear due to the reflection of sunlight or paint booth lighting. We employ multiple angles to minimize the impact of glare, ensuring a comprehensive view of your replica.  Their may occasionally be a photo of the replica inside as well, this is due to the fact that when we use metallic paints they overall color outside in the sun will look much lighter and brighter then how the fish mount will look inside so we showcase one image where you can see more of the dark, natural, indoor look as if its in your home.

Submitting Revision Requests: If you wish to request revisions to your replica, we are more than happy to accommodate your preferences. However, please understand that the revision process may take between 1 and 4 working days to provide you with an updated proof. We are dedicated to ensuring your complete satisfaction and will work diligently to incorporate your desired changes.
