Klein has been doing a really good job with their paint in the last few years. But this year, I
dropped by my local bike shop and saw the bike shop and saw the Palomino. The scheme as advertised
on the web looks appealing enough, but the implementation I saw looked poor. The lettering was
almost unreadable (not blurred, but too dark). Has anyone else seen this?

PS If you haven't seen the 24 hour finish they have available through the custom paint program
....it's kind of cool: http://www.kleinbikes.com/custom/glow.asp

We have a Palomino on the shop, and I'm with you. The quality of the paint job is poor, with a
noticeable ridge between the lettering and the main paint color. The Klein road bikes are much
better, coming in about average.

That is without a doubt a bonkers paint job, fair play to 'em.
