Just had my ceramic coat redone. Btw, if you had Opticoat professionally done a few years ago, the formula that was used at that time had some issues with adhering and dark spots, so he called me to do a redo at no cost to me. Warranty period didn't change, however, I'm good for 7 years with the updated coating. Also, I had a 4x3 inch bubble appear in the paint as well as the hood corrosion. Dealership had my car for 45 days and cost them over $2,000 for the rental car they put me in. Worked with Ford customer care and was charged $342. However, since the dealership had my car so long, accidentally sold the new hood that came in for my car, then, could not find a new hood anywhere in North America, and only repaired my hood and gave me a lifetime warranty on corrosion for the hood, didn't get charged a cent thankfully. Another btw, person in the body shop told me it's a known fact that the Lightning Blue color had issue with adherence from the factory...shame on Ford, they need to recall and repaint all of our cars!
Here's how it turned out. Note the temperature next to the clock...poor guy!

Hey Lightning Blue folks. Anyone have a PP1 spoiler for a 2018 they no longer want? Looking to upgrade from a blade spoiler

Color is still beautiful here, but unfortunately think I may be done with it :(

Airbags deployed and wouldn't start again, had check brake system message display on the dash as the last thing too. Thankfully hadn't put on the new FP Track suspension bits or bothered with getting the bumper/hood partially resprayed yet, but still hurts to see it like this.

Guy two cars ahead of suddenly stopped, car ahead of me didn't notice and plowed into him, then I hit that guy. Was about a 40mph roll before slamming on the brakes and making contact.
