Buildings are not pre-painted

[Last Hussar]

ESCENOGRAFIA EPSILON are NOT prepainted.

The are painted. Predelivery if you like, but not Prepainted.

If they were prepainted they would be unpainted.

Its the same way you can't preorder something, only order it.

I might buy some painted buildings, do you have any?

Yes they are, painted before delivery so pre-painted. (i know it's a laugh, but lets not make it confusing for people with english as a 2nd or 3rd language!)

Doesn't that make them "painted pre-delivery" rather than "pre-painted".

My experience of this forum is that many people with English as a first language still get easily confused.

How about pre unpainted and painted by Elves during shipping?

[Orcs]

Surely you are buying  "painted buildings ". They are not Pre Painted, Post painted (by postmen?) After panted. Part painted. They are just Painted.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

I am minded to agree with Orcs

[Matt J]

Pre-painted is correct.

As opposed to painted, as painted could mean they are shipped to you then someone comes around to paint them as much as painted then shipped.

[Westmarcher]

Does this mean that a prefix describes the situation before something is actually fixed?

So how should I class these TB horses I'm neatening up for Sir.

Pre-owned and owned when said in the present tense are both correct. Although what that has to do with this topic I don't know, but I am hoping it annoys someone, as I am just trying to rebase lead figures that were on MDF bases, fixed with 'No More Nails'  and my fingers are screaming in pain - I want others to suffer with me
