Would you guys accept this? As much as I hate it, don't really want to have the entire fender repainted.

I USED TO BE AN AUTO DAMAGE APPRAISER AND WE USED TO DO APPRAISALS FOR ONE OF THE BIG 3. WE USE TO SEE ACTUAL UNIBODY DAMAGE FROM CARS BEING TIED DOWN TOO TIGHT ON THE TRUCKS WE ARE ACTUALLY TALKING BENT FRAME RAILS THEY WOULD SEND IT OUT TO THE BODY SHOP AND CORPORATE WOULD PAY THE TAB. I WOULDN'T WANT A CAR THAT'S HAD UNIBODY DAMAGE BEFORE IT HITS THE SHOWROOM SOME WERE SO BAD THE REAR QUARTERS WERE BUCKLED.

I'd think a detail shop or your Ford body guy could buff that out and you'd never notice. I had a spot similar on a 2005 I had years ago and same thing. Buffed or what they did and I could not tell even up close!

This is on a GT500 that just came into local dealership.From front to back, the stripes were just "orange peel".

Those look like vinyl stripes, by the way they do not wrap around the top edge of the trunk lid.

Vinyl stripes have no Orange peel. I prefer them to painted stripes.

I would think so too, but if these were painted, why don’t the wrap around the trunk edge (by the window)?

Unfortunately, this is not true for gloss black vinyl wrap. 3M and Avery Dennison have terrible orange peel…🤬

3M vs Avery Dennison

Scroll ahead to the 2 min mark to see how bad they look.

The picture is definitely vinyl, not the 10K painted stripes.

Ohh wow ! That’s bad, I have only ever had the Matt type which look good. Have always preferred Matt for stripes but I’ll avoid the gloss ones after seeing that video 👍🏻

I’ve seen the factory fit offset gloss black stripes on need for green and they had quite a lot of peel too … :frown:

(Just before I get jumped on - I’m not saying all factory gloss stripes are the same. If you are happy with yours then that’s cool and all that matters :like:)

WD :like:

... This is a very minor paint inclusion?

Ford will warranty repair all of these problems. I had an issue with the door jams on my car having some bad overspray. And Ford said because it was not an "appearance panel" they would only cover half of the repair.

Whew, I'm glad I don't have these problems. I just enjoy the hell out of my Mustang.
She's not perfect, not the fastest, but she's mine and we have lots of fun, 140 mph rock chips and all!
We even pick up lumber at Menards.
