I've had two Waterford build Rivendells, a Joe Stark built and Joe Bell painted Rivendell, two Toyo built Rivendells (one painted, one clear powder coated).
The only "perfect" paint job was the Joe Bell one...and I chipped the top tube paint assembling the bike. I will probably have one of the frames repainted in the near future and I'll have the $300 paint job from their local painter. Just need to choose a color.
