[QUOTE="Tampaukfan, post: 1779523, member: 35504"] Is this how yours looks? This is called "mottling", it happens when the paint gun runs dry , too wet or is dirty. Mine has it on the top parts of the bed fenders, you cant see it in bright daylight or 100% shade. Indirect lighting with some shade or using a bright LED flashlight (like the photos) you can see it. I looked my truck over in 100% shade when I picked it up and in 100% sun, never thought to check under indirect light. Opened a case with Ford but have not had a chance to take it in to the dealer. Needless to say I am pissed, but not surprised since Ford paint quality is pure shit. Paint defects are common with Ford, you would think after years of this they would get it fixed. Another odd thing is the paint thickness, my cab measures 6.0 and the bed measures 3.2-3.9. The last 4 Ford trucks I have owned all measured 3.5-4.00 bed and cab. I know the bed and cab are not painted at the same time so maybe the line the ours beds was on had issues with the Robot. Ive asked multiple friends to see if they can see any issues with paint but none can see it until the truck is in right light and after I show them the areas. Repainting is not an option for me, hoping for an exchange or buyback but I doubt that will happen. Probably will just trade it in if my F250 ever gets built.
