Blue spots on door panels?

[Spykexx]

So i noticed last night I have a circular spot on my drivers door panel about 4 inches from the lock light. It's like discoloration. Can't be cleaned etc, it's like the black faded to a blue. Car is 2 weeks old. Anyone else have something like this? In the picture it looks fairly small and faint but in person it's much more noticeable. It's pretty bright blue. And is actually quite large. maybe an inch to an inch and a half. Shows up much better on my phone.

Could soke wiper fluid of dripped there?

I haven't used any wiper fluid nor have I had any around the car.

Just not entirely sure how black injection plastic would turn blue/white like that.

I have one spot on passenger door sill. Until I saw this post I thought it was something I did.

Yea it's in a place that literally NEVER gets touched. Cars 2 weeks old. And I feel like the plastic shouldn't be turning colors 0.o it's not like its painted.

I believe these plastics are painted in production process. Hard to believe but I had another issue inside and dealer mentioned this.

Nah that plastic isn't painted, it's injection molded in that color. Scratch it and see for yourself if you don't believe me.

At any rate, it looks like there was too much heat or not enough dye during the injection process for the OP's door panel.

Looks like it's more than just me. Seems 3 so far. And agreed. No way they'd paint them these days. Injection molded plastic is dyed in the mixing process.

Yeah so either there was a spot that didn't get enough dye, too much heat, or possibly there were a few grains of the wrong dye in the lot.

Guess the ford trim guy didn't know what he was talking about!

Someone at a car dealer provided misinformation?

This is my shocked face :|
