Line laying pram. Bad experience

[Regy53]

We still supply quite a few new machines to people whom we are not dealers for, basically a lot of customers become used to dealing with me, know we’re not gready so have us source equipment

A customer needed a road lining pram. Was ordered at Christmas and ready end of jan. Reputable firm found them on google fairly local to me so made sense

I went to pick it up today and found this. Rejected it . I mean how on earth is this deemed as acceptable. Stevie wonder probably do better paintwork. The md told me it’s agricultrual equipment and is the norm?? They refunded and apart from wasted time all ok so have kept the name out

jeeeeez I thought the paint was bad,, but the bent corner on the lid ... I'd hang my head in shame if I was that MD ...
Now't went out of my yard that I wasn't 100% happy with ... and it 'rubbed off' on my blokes ... very rarely did I have to criticise anyone's work

What a mess
Looks like they had applied it with a yard brush

I just knew I could not supply my customer with this? I was actually speechless it wasnt like it wasn’t a few grand? Who on earth paints this and says yep that’s ok send her out.

I wonder how some people are still in buisness. Maybe I’m over thinking this but despite the use and industry is not a reason to just send any old crap. No primer? Paint onto bare metal from what looks like a rattle can. In one huge lump not layers?

That's just a bloody mess, shouldn't matter if its agricultural or not, my dog could've painted that better with a brush tied to his tail

The bend is mirrored on both sides so presumably it's done for a reason but surely there are better ways of achieving what they want it does look very ugly

I never thought I'd see something painted worse than a JCB.... but they have excelled with this one. I painted my BMX when I was 13 with a rattle can and made a better job than that. Took the wheels off but got it all over the chain though - was a bit lazy back then

It looks like I can paint after all!!!

Looks like I'm not to bad with a spray paint gun after all! Shocking bad job and as you say no primer.
