You would think. Turns out, that was a black and blue model up until the pics were taken.

I was wondering the same thing. Sure looks like a staging to me.

I don't understand why they would let the paint sit and dry. I'd be headed to the nearest self serve car wash pronto.

Line paint is a two part epoxy that sets in under 15 seconds and dries within minutes. All the gear is ruined and short of sand blasting, that paint is NOT coming off.

I figured it dried quickly, but not that quickly. I would have thought it was more like 15 minutes. That is pretty amazing stuff when the conditions it has to live in are factored in.

You should get with the DOT in Michigan because the paint here is shit. It wears off the street in a mater of weeks. I've called the county road commissioner and complained but they didn't want to hear it saying the better quality paint would more than double their road painting budget.
