My 17 AG was great. No issues like this.
This is my 18, in the video below. Truck was actually 20 days old from its build date.

From the video comments:

My 2017 Raptor was a buyback and I turned it in the day this 2018 arrived.

Two people asked you the question on my mind too - why did your 2017 wind up being a buyback?

I looked at the lead foot today at the dealer, and it looked good. A salesman that I know came out and said you already have one. I said I had to see the lead foot in person, and he said its really the old lithium color. Ford just renamed it. He has a customer looking to trade is lithium f150 in for the raptor. I forgot ford had that color.

not the same. LF is a tad bit lighter. Here is a vid of both trucks

He said they were side by side and there was no difference. In the video, there is a difference. I only saw a few lithium grey's in person. I was thinking he could be right or wrong. He was wrong,lol.

Yeah I think the lithium is a bit darker. In low light it almost looks black. In 2016 I really wanted a lithium fully loaded Lariat. I ultimately chose a blue jeans platinum because lithium was a bit too dark and I didn't think a 60k+ lariat would do as well on resale as a platinum. I liked avalanche but it was too light for me. When I saw leadfoot was to be offered in 18 I knew I would get one. I still haven't seen one in person but put my order in last week. I hope it's close to the Stealth Gray on my Focus RS, as I loved the color more than the car LOL.

Washed the cars today and snapped a couple quick pics while they were both clean. Black is way worse than leadfoot as far as showing blemishes. Matter of fact I don't see any paint issues with the truck so far.
