    White Spots on Bed Plastics

    Painted surfaces should be fine. I've seen reports of the paint chipping off of the Gen 3 flares, but if that happens the ceramic coating will go with it.

    White Spots on Bed Plastics

    I spoke to the shop that did it. The owner is really nice. He told me to bring it in, and they’ll fix it or replace it. He said it looks like their polish. It must have gotten into the plastics.

    Oh. Interesting. I had my truck ceramic coated, but I don't know if they did the plastics. I'll find out. Did you try restoring the plastic with something like cerakote? If so, how long did it last?

    White Spots on Bed Plastics

    I have some of those. They work great. Just concerned if the plastic is defective. Seems quite early to be happening.

    White Spots on Bed Plastics

    For a vehicle under a year old, it’s suspect. I’ve never owned a car that did it that quickly, and I’ve even owned a Jeep. ;)

    My truck is less than a year old. It's hard to believe the plastic would already start getting sunbleached. Has anyone else noticed these on their plastics?

    Ah! Nope. I found that here: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-ford-f-150-raptor-first-drive. I tried posting a direct link to the image, but it wasn’t posting right, so I just copied it and pasted it into the reply field.

    Are you referring to the one with the Stealth sample? If so, that's my truck.

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I did it myself. Here is the link to the kit I used: https://www.dipyourcar.com/collections/wheel-kits-by-color/products/shadow-black-hyperdip-wheel-kit?variant=5630996356 I definitely recommend watching the instructional videos as HyperDip is a different formula than PlastiDip and will need to...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    They’re the stock tires and wheels. I liked them, but not the color. I dipped them to turn them black.

    Ben Hardy...... Complaining....

    After owning mine for a couple of months, here are my thoughts on his list: 1. Fit and finish. I 100% agree with this. I would expect more QC to have gone into a vehicle that costs as much as it does. That being said, it has zero impact on how much I enjoy the vehicle. Besides a stitch poking...

    GEN 3 --Anyone Else Not Crazy about their new truck?

    My first vehicle was a 1974 Ford Pinto. It came free with a flatbed trailer we bought for $50. The guy told us that we could only take the trailer if we took the car that was on it. It topped out at a whopping 45mph, and it took about 30 seconds to accelerate to that speed. It had AM radio only...
