<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 177468, member: 37"]In your photo of the back, the black paint looks sloppily applied. The paint job should probably be better than this, with individual pieces painted before assembly. If the black paint overlaps on to separate pieces, it is likely a repaint. Also look for brush marks. I think the paint job probably should have been sprayed rather than hand painted on these parts. I also think the main body should probably be plated rather than painted. This company was known for their plating expertise. Any paint should probably only be for contrast details. It would be nice to find another one of these for comparison.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
