Velvet Glove Team Blueprint Member 532 Member For: 22y 2m 4d Posted 11/01/04 09:12 AM Share Posted 11/01/04 09:12 AM Anyone notice the black paint very quickly wear away from the front LHS (as u look at it from the front) of the engine block after pick up ? Looks like bugs/little rocks etc have come through the bottom in thegap in the bumper and worn the paint away. I have one silver patch with all the rest black Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8459-paint-off/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds to the million other bits of missing paint I got cause of stone chips.

Adds to the million other bits of missing paint I got cause of stone chips. Seems the paint falls off or rubs off on any part of the car. See series two for improved quality control (hopefully) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8459-paint-off/#findComment-81990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see attatched pic) Is this the norm? Will dealers fix it? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8459-paint-off/#findComment-83564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time toget out the black VHT paint, or see the warranty man. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8459-paint-off/#findComment-83573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
