Twose paint work

[YELROM]

We have a 2015 set of Twose Cambridge rollers that we bought new ex stock that were maybe a year old when we got them and the paintwork is just blistering up and falling off all over.
Has anyone else had problems with Twose paint.
I have told the dealer a couple of times that I am not happy about the paint work and he has supposedly reported it to Twose but have heard nothing back

Got a twose hedge cutter now around 12 years old and paint on it is excellent.its never spent a night out though and gets washed pretty much every time it’s used.

We have a yellow painted Twose hedge cutter that the paint is good on and the paint on the previous yellow rollers was good as well
The rollers do spend some time out in summer but must spend 9 or 10 months in a shed

The paint is just blistering of them like they have been rusty or something when painted, just don’t think it’s good enough for the age of them

Has nobody else had any problems with there Twose paint work

Those yellow rolls here circa 2010 ish and the paint is fine. Didn’t twose get bought out so maybe it’s just a rebadge and repaint on the newer stuff?

I doubt if hedge cutters and rolls are made in the same factory,

I hate when paint lifts off in sheets like that. Most paint will last well enough on smooth and nicely curved or round steel sections but will always come a cropper where its been cut or drilled and left a very sharp edge that only gets an extremely thin layer. I'd prefer a rust blister any day that can be cleaned up with a sanding disc and touched up. Nothing worse than paint lifting with rust behind it, you never know where it ends.

We have a 2015 Kuhn straw blower that's going the same way. Both blistering and coming off in sheets at the corners.

Is it something about the painting process these days? Older stuff seems to be fine. Odd bit of blistering here and there but not coming off in sheets.

Had paint fall of the steelwork under the cab on my digger.took it back to dealer and had it replaced but the issue was where the steel had been guilloteened in manufacture The razor sharp edge had prevented paint adhering well enough.after that all sharp edges are rounded of now to prevent this issue

Yes, I've heard that story before but I'm not entirely convinced. Why does it peel off in sheets and not just along the edge where the metal's cut?
Neighbour has a 2018 McHale bedder that's going the same way as our Kuhn. Yet we have a 2018 Selbourne dual spreader with no paint issues. I would have thought Shelbourne would use the same up to date cutting methods.
If it was as simple as rounding off the edges, the problem would be solved by now.

I have a 40 year old combine with better paintwork.

IMO if you are lucky and you machine is made from steel thats freshly produced, no waiting at the stockholders and no waiting at the manufacturers, the paint will stick fine. If the same steel spends a couple months waiting at the stockholder or in the manufacturers yard before its used and is painted in exactly the same way, it wont adhere correctly. Luck of the draw really. Of course the answer is to always blast everything before painting, but this isn't always common practice. Manufacturers will deliberately not keep steel for any amount of time so they can avoid blasting, and its fine 90% of the time, but occasionally some may be sat at the stockholders for longer than it should be, but the painting process will stay the same, causing these problems.

What would you expect the manufactures to do about the paint work as it isn’t just the edge’s like the top photo,it is blistering up all over underneath the paint work as shown in the bottom photos
They are going to need shot blasting and re painting which I don’t think is good enough for the age of them

Your dealer needs to be more proactive. I dontt know what he thought would happen simply from reporting it to them.

Perhaps get a quote for blast and repaint and then approach the dealer/manufacturer, then its up to them whether they do it themselves, pay your quote, or argue the toss and lose a customer. Even if you could just get a contribution towards blast and paint, a brand new paint job on a 7 year old machine is an extra 7 years of life added to the machine (potentially) so not to be sniffed at

@YELROM did you get anywhere with this?

No
I have just ask the dealer to send some photos to Twose and see what they say, I have asked them twice and they said they have had no response
Like other above have said i didn’t expect a lot but if they had just come and looked at them and offered something toward shot blasting or some paint but just the usual ignore you and hope you go away
