The paint quality seems fine, it seems evenly applied and of good quality, I am just not a big fan of the loud Origin-8 branding or CX-700 labels all over it. I like flat colors with no labels, so may be looking into getting this powdercoated or repainted.
Over all, I am very happy with this frame. I am waiting for some parts to show up so I can do a preliminary build and the paint doesn't bother me so much that I wouldn't be willing to ride it around as is while I save up for the paint job.
