Paint imperfections ?

[Raptorial]

At the end of the day, doesn’t bother me much. But a few areas of my truck appear “dinged” in certain areas. However , I think it’s either imperfections in the metal or the paint.

I’ve noticed under ALL 4 door handles, on either side of the handle, it appears like there’s dings. Only from a certain angle however ...

I’ve found the same in both sides of my hood. I’ve highlighted the area I see it, but the pictures don’t capture it

Has anyone else noticed these ? I’m guessing it must be common since it’s consistent ....

If you expect Ford to produce Bentley-like quality, well...

When I got my truck, I had rubber bands under the hood, some weather stripping wasn't in place, headliner needed to be aligned, windshield leaked.... Domestic car manufacturing has long ways to go in quality control.

 

[Raptorial]

Yep, all true. Just wondering if the issue was only with mine

I had rubber bands under the hood too...they were visible from the wheel well area

The rubber band shit is strange! When I was wiring my new lights I was definitely thinking, "WTF is with all these rubber bands?"

Took me a while to realize that I had an oil leak from either tranny or transfer case because I figured it was burning rubber bands making that smell. Instead it was oil dripping on the exhaust. New seals on order.

The "dings" by the handles is on my truck as well. Haven't noticed the hood, yet.

Huh? Rubber bands, dings...I'm out!

 

[GordoJay]

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

My 20 purchased a couple of months ago had a long scratch in the tailgate. Most likely done after it left the manufacturer. Dealer took pics and sent them to Ford and they approved to fix.

I'm holding off getting it repaired until I scratch the tailgate up some more.

Good thing I’ve owned Ford before, I knew what I was getting into. Developed a driver’s side glass rattle this morning. 1200 miles lmao
