Not likely to go through seeing as the 5 year warranty is expired on 2015’s nowDid Ford deny a warrenty repair or a TSB request? I'm curious, as I'm about to go in with the TSB and try to get my hood replaced.

No the TSB for the hood paint corrosion specifically doesn't cover MY2015, only MY2016+TSB's are not warranty based, or limited to time factors. Thats why I'm asking how he applied. Warranty would most certainly be denied, but TSB's have been hit or miss, based on the application process.
My 2015 has perforation, but I don’t even think it’s worth the time since it’s 6 years at this point2015 S550’s have to show perforation to the metal in order to be a complete hood replacement.
2016+, metal peroration is not a prerequisite, they HAVE to replace the sheetmetal panel per the Warranty.
All S550’s have a 5/60 Paint Warranty, with the above noted differences.
Approximately $600 I think. The shop redid it for $1000. But I also rented a booth and did other things you can skip. I also needed two different primers, one for the bumper (plastic) and a high build primer for the hood. I bought enough paint for two coats of base and five coats of clear (plan for orange peel so you have enough clear to level and polish). I did not get past one coat of clear before it became apparent I was too unhappy with the tiger striping to live with it. The supplies I bought were:
Primer
Body filler - presumably you won't need this
Base coat, clear coat, and one can of guide coat paint
Sand paper (400 - 2000 grit wet sand)
Tack cloths for dust - you can skip, it's just an extra caution
Isopropyl wipe downs
Respirator (do NOT skimp on the respirator and filters for it)
