Get the touch up paint from ford and watch the AMMO NYC video on paint touch up using a syringe and blunt tip needle. Know that it isn't going to look perfect so you dont drive yourself crazy, but you will prevent oxidation, which is the main goal. Just did this on mine before coating the car.
Or maybe it is and Ford just really doesn't want to sell the car. Hard to tell by their repeated terrible decision-making. Jan 10th and the US still doesn't have build and price up
If you haven't driven an MT-82 make sure you do before buying. It was an expensive lesson to trade in after 3k miles in my case. I'd only buy the Mach 1 with the Tremec if I was going back to a stick.
