My car was repainted from the middle of the doors up under the Ford 3year/36k warranty. Paint and clearcoat problems. They told me that it was sprayed too thick. I had no problem getting it done, they knew there was a problem. The hard part is to find a dealer willing to go to bat for you and still be under your factory warranty. :p

I would just add to this discussion something I noticed today about the paint on my black 99 SVT.
On the vertical surfaces...the doors, sides of the fenders, etc., the paint is not smooth or "glassy" as you'd expect. It's hard to describe the appearance, but it looks almost as if the paint was applied too thickly, and it ran down a little bit all the way around. Sort of a rippled appearance.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

Anyone have any ideas or experience with this? You don't mean the lower parts of your doors and fenders, do you? Those have a special anti-rock chip surface.

I also have a problem with my paint on my hood. Just a couple days ago I noticed it. I dont know how to explain it, but it looks like a little drop of something fell on my hood, and run down maybe 6 - 12". I have 5 or 6 of those on my hood. It is really noticeable because the spot and the run down is like a faded color, almost clear or white. I dont know how this could of happened because I am very careful where I park.
I am going to take it to the dealer this week but I dont know what they will say. The spots like like the paint boiled away, so that definitely a defect, but how am I gonna explain the run down. They're probably gonna blame it on me like I tried detailing it or something.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi- Yeah, I know the paint is kind of corrugated along the bottom, where the rubberized anti-chip stuff is, but the entire both sides of the car have that same kind of textured appearance, although to a much lesser extent.
I must look at some other cars. Maybe they're all like that, and I just never noticed.
