So its been like 4 years that i've been using a custom cable and never looked back since

oh i thought you meant the actual connectors snapped, not the cable. they should do better yes and i'm guilty of just accepting that cables that are supplied by certain manufacturers are just shit cos they know the buyer will just use their own cable.

But wouldnt it be wise to first give them like a primer layer and then like 2 finished layers?

i hope someone else can chime in here as i think this might be wrong, but i think the thicker the layer of paint, the more likely you are to get cracking and then chips forming?

ideally focal should have made their own plastic cup in the colour they wanted instead of just painting the existing parts. so that's a compromise i'd hope to not see on a premium product.

Yeah fully agree here, with the resources they have they should've done better. Especially on the cups.
