    Why is paintwork so poor?

    Why do manufacturers do such a poor job of paintwork? I’d never consider just giving something a single tip coat on its own, yet I’ve hardly seen a single machine in recent years that has had an undercoat. Plenty of mentions of JCB paintwork on here. New Holland black paint on all combines...
