The simple answer, 22 or 24 fret aside, no, they don't have it right. They're finally doing it the way I've been pleading for many years, but whoever they contracted with was probably just the low bid. There are too many issues with the paint process, too many hazy spots, etc.
You can simul-chrome a whole car and have it come out perfect but they can't get a small body right. Just as with all the chrome attempts before.
3 in house operations to get the JS2 into feasible production, all failed.
3 different chromers were used to do the JS10ths because of quality issues.
2 different companies for the JS2PRM, and the last Mizumo did a wonderful job, but using a fragile process that can't
stand up to play wear.
To the current 30th/1CR, I imagine if they're paying close enough attention, I would have already changed to another paint company to do the simul-chrome process and get rid of all the haze issues. And you have some delamination issues between the paint and the self healing protective clear layer. There will always be pimples or sink lines or many of the other issues, but the company they're using just isn't cutting it. And/or the treatment after the fact back at the factory is not careful enough to not create more problems. The best thing about them is they won't show scratching like any previous version because you can hear the PPF layer.
