2011 Maple rear fender paint jobber was drunk ?
« on: April 26, 2013, 11:40:11 AM »

I stood behind my buddy`s Maple and looked at the rear fender and suddenly i recognized that the middle line of the paint job runs to the left-side , took  the measure and definitely the line is 1 cm more to the left than to the right . Do you get what i mean ?
 I took a picture , look at the middle-line : ( proove for hand made custom paint job - wow )  ;D
Funny i think .

Think of it this way.  It gives it character.  It's one of a kind!

I wondered if I was the only one who saw that, or if maybe it was a trick of lighting.  I don't think it's an optical illusion.

I don't know, I've never seen a glare have such a sharp cutoff like what I see on the left side.

I believe you are correct, Jerry.  It's not glare as you show with your added straight lines.  If it came from the factory like that (there seems to be some debate on this thread it may be repainted?), the QA folks were drunk, high or both!  I could understand a missed blemish or two but my 4 year old grandson noticed it was off.  Tells you something about the QA at the MoCo lately.... :nixweiss:
