My gen 2 2018 is less than 3 weeks old. It has orange peel all over but it's excessive on the passenger side front fender. The detailer I use agreed. The detailer went on to he could get rid of all the orange peel but 3 things would happen.
1) He could get rid of the orange peel and the the paint would have a mirror finish.
2) There would be no guarantee on the clear coat.
3) My wallet would be $ 2,000 lighter.
Listen to Mr. Lumadar, he knows his stuff!
It is a shame that you pay almost $70K for a rig to have that kind of paint quality.
What do you do? **** and moan to the dealer? He didn't paint it and you might need him if you have a problem. Raise hell with Ford corporate? What a lesson in futility, not worth the frustration and wasted time. My truck sat in Portland, less than 100 miles from my dealer, for a month. Ford Performance told me it was in Portland, every time I called they moved back the delivery date. When I finally got the truck the dealer found out it sat because it needed a new tire. No I won't be contacting Ford.
If the worse thing that happens to my truck is orange peel, I'll consider myself very lucky.
