fender flares oxidating flaking finish ?

Is there a recall or something? Rear flare looks to be flaking/oxidizing... don't mind the paint it's just a reflection

I have the same issue on the front driver side. I reached out to the dealer that sold me the truck and they said they couldn’t help me and that I had to find another dealer that has a body shop.

I don't think a body shop can paint them to match. Would think it would be a warranty issue unless the dealer can proof it was causer owner error.

Fords fender flare vendor did a terrible job. I see a lot of warranty claims coming soon for this paint issue.

Just waiting to get this fixed under warranty. Fixing the end of the month.

I have nothing to add other than it baffles me why they would select some sort of paint or coating on these instead of just making them out of plastic with the color molded all the way thru. It's an off-road truck for crying out loud, make it a little bit tough.

Are the flares clear coated?

Sure looks like clear coat or something similar. Ford, or someone along the way, made a big mistake painting that plastic. It should be moulded in the correct finish and done.

This is partially why I’m getting color matched…

worst case.... plasti-dip with their Anthracite color. It is identical to the factory finish.
