A good example. I have an idiosyncrasy in my paintwork which should have shown up in the final prep booth. Nothing much but I know it's there.

How about the robot applied paintwork on Carolines Merc is that better than the handsprayed paint on Tarka?


Interesting comment: whilst the hand applied respray done (under warranty) by the Mercedes approved bodyshop is a better job than the original, but it still doesn't have the lustre of the MMC job.

MY plus 8 went back to the factory for the correction of a few paint defects yet it still has one of those Dave.

When being built by hand is a means of production and not a work ethic.

My own Plus 8 fell apart as well after 6 months-AND the paint started to crack. Full factory respray and rebuild on warranty and since then no issues.

The once famous protestant work ethic disappeared decades ago in the UK.
