Wayne painted a lot of the DNA 250's and the quality of the bodies they produced was first rate. I did consider a Tribute 250 GTO but I must admit that the finish put me off. The finish on the 250 swb is much better than the GTO but still not in the same league as the DNA, saying that it is half the price and a much easier build.
Barber has said that his Z3gato is going to be painted before a mould is taken so the finish should be another step.
I think one problem people miss is that when developing a new model it takes many hours and a vast amount of money in labour terms and there is always a need to get it onto the marketplace quickly to recoup some of the costs. Bit different for large companies but hard for small companies.
My 2nd 250swb is much better finished than the first one and wouldn't take as long to build as the first one, just need to pull my finger out.
