Color difference in Fender and Door....?

[BKwizzy]

Hey Guys! Sorry it took so long to post. Work has been busy!

Take a look let me know if the other Oxford's look like this??? IF so I think its weird. Service Manager just picked up the Truck from my house and gave me a explorer SPORT....yay. Will update tomorrow with the verdict. I took her to a body shop and the paint tech said 100% this truck has been repainted or repaired. But that is one opinion....right....I can obviously see a difference but sometimes the sun light off the Oxford White plays tricks on me. I've looked at it so long it starts to 3D....lol

The true test will be the color meter to see the thickness of the paint from factory... The reason the body shop "Expert" lets call him thinks it's been touched is that...He used to work in the Ford factory paint line and seen lots of mess ups and accidents w/ bad coverups. Also he said "if you look real close you can see dust particles on the fender that are not on the body...meaning the booths at factory are much better then bodyshops.?? Then he showed me another one of his clues ? The bolts had paint rings like they had been repainted. That was a little odd...

Well hopefully they take care of me... The service manager is a good guys and is still claiming to be standing by me if the test shows a repaint to get it fixed right away by the dealer. Hopefully these pics turn out.

Pretty similar to how mine looks.

Pretty much what I suspected. If you see any dust particles magnified by the paint, then it was definitely worked on.

I had to go pick up a part one time from the Ferrari dealer and while waiting I checked out a brand new F-430 Spyder. I checked out the paint and there I found it. Color sand marks around the tail lamps. So they had to replace or fix the rear bumper, sanded and polished after they put it all together and couldn't fit the buffing bonnet between the lights and bumper.

Happens more often than we think.

As if that wasn't enough evidence the horrible fitment of the fender flare should have been a dead giveaway.

I hate to say it since I'll be picking up my new raptor shortly, but that is quite obvious IMHO. I'd be pissed.

You should have signed along with the dealer a disclosure statement stating that it did or did not have any damage..... Fed Law requires this for any damage resulting in repair of 5% of MSRP or greater... Just like an odometer statement for miliage...
I went threw this 3 weeks ago on my 13' and made the dealer buy the truck back for un-disclosed damage.. I get my new one in 2 days.. I gota be the only guy to buy 2 ROUSH Raptors in as many weeks ........This time fron another dealer and direct from Roush..

What type of damage did you have?

Can you take a pic of the cab to box. I'm just curious if I was correct in saying that curved body panels will look different shade of the same paint where the curved panel meets a flat panel. I will say that just lookinga t that one photo of the fender bolts that have been adjusted means that it has been messed with. As ford the factory spay booths benign better than collision shop booths, I'd have to disagree. I looked my entire truck over and there is a bunch of dirt spots in my paint. O well though. I'll wet sand them out and rub it till it comes out flat. If time would allow it, I would love to wet sand the orange peel right out of my paint job. Paint that doesn't have orange peel looks deeper and richer IMO. And obviously that depends on how many coats of clear the vehicle has.
