I hope it's just me but in some recesses I hope it's not but are you guys suffering paint quality issues?

I have small pinprick paint pops over the driver side front tyre well (near the front lights) that cannot come as stone chips as I've not driven anywhere but on sealed roads and the way it is starting to look is worrying me about the overall paint quality.

The paint looks bloody thin and the stone chips I have got seem to go all the way to base metal - there seems to be no resistance in the paint or undercoat at all.

Maybe I'm just unlucky.

Btw - does anyone know in the ACT where I can get a Car Bra?

I think you can order the original "car bra" over the internet.

There are a few threads on paint quality. Try here for a recent one.

12 1/2 months and my paint seems fine,lousy scabs could have painted under the bonnet though.

I have a phantom ute.... no paint problems to mention... your dealer will fix paint quality issues without too much drama

I've got a phantom ute and I live in the country and it seems to chip very easily

Badger!!!

I'm from the riverland...ive got 40k's of dirt road to do whenever I go home ot the farm from adelaide....I'm just waiting for a stone chip and I'll burst into tears

What area u from???

Do you have the paint protection, (ming or whatever?) I drove mine from Sydney to Darwin without getting stone chips.

I have paint protection and stone guard on the front (clear film crap) and no stone chips on the paint (although one dint on the film crap :lol: )

Car sure does get dirty easy though

almost 12000 km in a phantom sedan, all sort of road driving conditions (except for dirt) and the paint is fine.

I didnt get the ford paint protection, I got it done through a relo who has a detail business. I should add, that he does maintenance on my car every 6 months also........infact, got done last sat, I can see my refection in the paint..........sweeeeeet
