Does anyone else's rods have poor paint? For example the brown looks like thin brown paint over orange rods.

I have the 155 wood rods and the paint is fine and these get used a lot. I love mine. If it is really bad, I would contact the company, Learning Resources, and tell them you want a replacement set.

The rods I purchased are fine, there is no question as to what the colors are. My 3 and 5 year old grandchildren love them!

We ordered our set in August of 2013 and all of our rods have uniform colors and finish. HTH

Mine and it appears in the reviews that mostly everyones came with different colored paint on their sylveon plush. Some say its a bootleg (fake plush) and thats why its made "poorly".

I did not paint mine and it looks really nice. If I look at it from the right angle, I can see the seams, but no one but me seems to notice them. If you roll it with white paint, the seams will virtually disappear. If you've got any overlap, the seams will show worse and painting might be more important. Mine's been up for almost a year unpainted. I'll probably paint it someday when I get the energy/time or when I want to sell the house.

The rods will get a brown film on them. I would clean once a week so not to get to bad. Make sure you dry them well with a paper towel.

chrome rod. The end caps are white plastic which is not flat or glossy. It's not a bright shiney white it will look ok on any shade of white paint.

You may have to thin the paint more. This is why I don't recommend this unit. Takes forever to cover most projects.I did my large ceiling with it and between the fumes and the cloud of paint, I'm lucky to have survived it! Not to mention the waste!

I think mine was doing that as well. We threw it out. I scrubbed it and it was still discolored.

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

It actually looks like they may have used some sort of wood polish in the second picture. Mine looks more like the first picture.

mine appear to have been turned from a solid piece of some light wood, and then stained dark brown. They are not made of what we old timers call 'beaverboard'

Mine is a bronze/darker brown. It's mottled looking with some spots darker and some lighter. It looks great on our boat dock.

I haven't had any problems with my set of paints... I just give them a little stir. Maybe you got a bad batch?

this is very unusual! normally this stuff turns black in a very short time over all surfaces,painted or rusty. i've been using this stuff for years and i highly recommend putting down some rustoleum metal primer over all treated surfaces,no matter what the label says about not needing any primer. did you shake the container enough,i wonder?

I pretty much agree with all of the comments below. However, one of my cannisters had a chip in the red paint. It looked like they tried to put the little piece back on and then glazed over it. I had already unpacked the cannisters so I decided not to try to return them. Also the red paint is a little streaky on the body of the cannisters. Probably should have returned them, but it was too much trouble.

My bonnet is black. Have had it for a while. It was out of stock for quite some time then reappeared with a white bonnet. It seems that they may have made some improvements to it

Sorry to hear that. Mine are definitely orange and shoot upwards and out. I'd see if it could be exchanged because it's a really cool (but hot) heater!
