Paint Defect....Advise Please

[mouldman1]

So was checking out the Raptor this morning and noticed what looks to be either a pain drip or almost a fold of paint on the front quarter panel adjacent to the hood...I'm hesitant to poke at it as if I put a hole in it it has the potential to rust if I dont have it repainted.

Question is should I take it to a dealer and show it to them? Am I wasting my time? Do you think the would offer a remedy?

Its hard to see on the picture but there are 2 paint defects.

I doubt they'll warranty it for you.

Paint issues are something we see a lot of with the Raptor.

I'd at least get it recorded for future refeance.

Yup, my front hood on the lip looks like they didnt spray it completly as well as under the front fenders near the headlight is another place same thing. I did go to ford just so they have it down that there paint job blows.

I'll email the dealer now and let him know. Thanks!

I thought machines paint the raptors? If yes whey would there be defects? Not saying machines can't make mistakes but it would be rare as they repeat the same motion over and over again.

I say you should def bring it up with Ford.

Its not metal so it won't rust.

thats what id do. when i got my ranger there was a glob defect on the drivers door edge. almost like they dinged it and did a bad touch up job. i thought i could mess with it and use touch up to hide it but it ended up looking like shit. i finally just put a plastic edge protector on it. if i could do it over i would have taken it back and made em repaint it. shouldnt the factory paint job be essentially perfect?
