I have a 1997 Waterford-built all-rounder and I think the paint job is holding up really quite well. Obviously, it's not a Joe Bell paint job. Now, to be fair,my AR isn't in daily hard use ... because I don't have totally secure inside storage at work.The paint job does have a few minor nicks and scrapes . At home, the bike is stored inside and it hasn't been locked outside very often, so it doesn't lead a very hard life. All cleaned up, it doesn't look like an almost 20-year old bike; it's ageing much more gracefully than its owner, I'm afraid.
