thewheelman Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I see this as an issue of selection, not quality. I noticed that none of those who's paint is chipping is an Alloy Metallic. I believe what you are experiencing here is the car is faster than your paint. Now, those of us with Alloy generally don't have this problem as, you see, Alloy IS the fastest color....... You can address this issue in one of 2 ways: 1) drive slower so that the paint bonding agents don't break down or 2) repaint the car in Alloy Metallic. Sorry, just couldn't help myself! We drive our 07 vert almost daily (and a couple of major road trips)and the only paint that has chipped on the entire car is at the leading edge of the side scoops......then again, they were dealer installed. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckstang Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Mine is very bad I noticed it when claying the car Not really chips, well really really fine chips, like you said a sand blasting effect, mine is all the way down the side below the stripe Also my paint chips pretty easy, on the hood that is I keep my car very well, beyond pampered, doesnt ever go anywhere it could get a ding and you get the idea but you would swear for such pampering my car would have more than 10k miles, and Im not saying its in bad condition its just poor ford quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
