Here are a couple more





I don't know if it's the color coat or the clear coat. Most people either don't notice it or mention it if thye do. Truck looks great clean, until you get too close. There are some good parts, especially the roof except when you get to the forward edges of it.

Wilzol,

Ok, thanks...those are helpful.

I am not a paint expert but I do you think you have some excessive OP, however, I almost think that due to your paint color, it seems to make it more prevalent. My reasons for asking you for a particular location was to see if the OP was less noticeable higher on the panels. OP tends to be more noticeable lower near the rocker panels.

The reflecto shots look normal to me but, we all have some OP to deal with. I do think you have some reasons to be considering having Ford take a hard look at it. If they will do something about it that would be good, but honestly I don't know what they can do.

It would be nice to get RockPick, Gip, Dan and Boss take a look at this thread.

I don't know what Ford would even offer, but I really don't want it repainted, I think that would devalue the truck and never really be as good as the original paint as far as durability goes. If there was a great detailer that could take care of it I might go that route, but there is noone around here I would trust.

1. Read the sticky
2. Read the detail dictionary
3. Learn from the real pros here, Rock, Gip, Boss, Dan.

Learn from up and coming stars. hwm3, F150Sport, Attworth, Lumadar, thumper. Having seen some of the cars hwm3 and attworth have taken on as of late, they have been challenged for sure. Their results speak for themselves.

These guys too know their stuff. While this craft, OCD detailing thing isn't "rocket science" (to quote Rockpick) it is a learned craft. Most of the time we learn from our own and others mistakes listed here.

Ok, off my soap box.
WOW. Just caught this one. Thanks for the compliment RR. I've gotta give you, RP and a couple others here credit for helping me get to where I am now though.
