It is an issue and black doesn't help by showing every little imperfection.

I'm sitting with about 4 rock chips right now and they are very noticeable, I hate it.

The front of my hood is almost more white than black. If anyone is able to make any headway with ford please let me know as this pisses me off to no end! My dealership is full of idiots so I'm in the process of finding a new one. If I can go in guns loaded with anything you guys find this should be much easier.

They tried to shrug me off about it at first but I called and talked to the manager and they said it would be up to ford. Im off work tomorrow and have it scheduled to be looked at so ill raise some hell and update on what they say.

Luckily for me. I pointed the imperfections in the black paint out to the salesman and the manager before I took possession of my Black GT. They shipped the car to a body shop and had the problem areas painted. The problem areas for me were the hood and the 1/4 panel areas above the tires where they flare out.

Hi,

Did anyone have ford do anything about their bad paint, after the sale?

[QUOTE="50hhh, post: 750031, member: 16395". I took it to my step brothers body shop and he says the car is just not covered well from the factory esp on the fiberglass hood. He checked the chip on the hood and front bumper and said its the thinnest paint hes seen on a new car yet.[/QUOTE]

Well, since the hood is now fiberglass it won’t corrode like the aluminum ones.:frown:

Active GT, be aware this is a 3 yr old thread. I was hoping that someone was able to work successfully with ford to address their paint issues.

I was joking about it. However until you take a mil gauge and prove it is thin you are pizzing in the wind. Then or now.

And for the record I started the thread about corrosion back then. As mine did corrode.
