Which machinery brands have good paintwork?

[Steevo]

Was thinking this afternoon that my earlier thread on paintwork could be turned around to be positive.....so please post below machines that have excellent paintwork.

My big vote goes to Chafer - quality paintwork that doesn't chip or peel, and even has a clearly visible undercoat.

If it’s not shotblasted as the primary operation any paint adhesion will be shyte.

2008 Kuhn Axis is machine with best paintwork I have.

Edit
Forgot about McHale. The Baler and wrapper have very good paint in them. Bale squeeze not so much.

to date....
JD Mannheim green () , Mchale wrapper paint seems to be stuck on, CAT paint seems pretty good, Marshall spreader and trailer ditto ...plenty of undercoat where is scraped off by abuse here.

Manitou red = good
Manitou black = rubbish
Claas grey is good
Bailey green = poor
Knight yellow = pretty good
NH Yellow = good
NH blue = not bad

Kuhn and mchale seem to know how to make paint stick to metal.

Everything else we have is pretty crap.

manitou been the worst!

Kuhn have completely lost it recently. Thin powder coat now, straight on shiny scale and sharp edges. Mentions above a 2008 Kuhn spreader being good. This was defintely the case and continued until about 2012/14, but now desperately poor.
Some Kverneland, Major, KRM worse. CAT good, but Challenger equipment has become very poor, particularly the black parts, since the introduction of MT series.

20 year old Simba is very well prepped and painted. Deere pretty good 1995 - 2010. Austrian Case, Steyr much better than US or Basildon examples.

Nobody seems to have mentioned jcb for some reason...

The worst I have found is the orange paint on Browns equipment. I have several of their implements, all bought brand new within a year or two of each other, and the paint is a joke on them all. Seems to just flake off without any cause, sometimes almost from new, always exposing rusty metalwork underneath.

There is simply no excuse for the shoddy standard of paintwork on their machines, and because of this I would be most reluctant to buy anything else manufactured by them. Get you act together Browns, your paintwork is a disgrace.

Thinking back, my Sulky DPX spinner had good paintwork. @Robt and the team have got that spot on.
