Paint imperfections ?

[Frank R]

those "dings' under the door handles are call die marks, those happen when the draw die(first op) starts to loosen(loose grip) over time and doesn't pull the metal tight enough to keep those areas stretched enough, being a die maker and work for ford, we probably built that door which goes on every F-150 out there, steel or aluminum makes no difference, problem is this tool has a 3500 piece a day requirement which means in the press everyday,no long time to rework tool,(tighten up)I know it didn't leave our building like that but so many things can cause how the panel runs, even the age of the aluminum coil that is feeding the line, aluminum coils have an expiration date on them because the workability of alumnum changes with age. those areas you cant metal finish on the line, all cars have some, most people don't look for them except on the their car/truck. being a die maker I look down the bodylines and check margins on alot of cars, if you pay attention they all have them even that Butt ugly prius

Hah. I got white. I may have dings, but I can't see them. It's that white privilege ...

I love white vics because of how well it hides everything. white paint contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause WHIT PRIVILEGE and birth defects or other reproductive harm. that is why i moved out of CA! im good!
