Default Who is satisfied with their factory paint job?

Iwas wondering how many of you are happy with the quality of the paint job ford puts on thier cars?

I purchased my newestmustang two months ago and it was covered with "Pits", they were actual pits in the paint that looked like the surface of the moon. I took it back to the dealer and showed them the problem so they decieded to try to buff it out, all they managed to do was put swirl marks all over the car. Second time they re-painted the hood,roof trunk lid and spoiler. they did a horrible job, Sandpaper marks all over the hood, Solvent pop all over the roof and over spray all over the rear of the car not to mention all the pits left every where else. Its going back tomorrow so a rep from ford can look at it but what really pisses me off is the way the body shop manager acted like i was just being being too picky. He actually said to me "your acting like you bought a porshe". I was floored, i talked to the gm and he seemed like he was honestly concerned. Well see ...

Thanks, Good thing is these imperfections dont stand out and when your in direct sunlight it looks flawless (exept now over spray is very noticeable) I have always owned fords and it seems they have always had orange peel issues ... Dont get me wrong i love my pony worse comes to worse ill just have it painted myself lol ...

I have a 06 torchred and I think its a great finish and looks smooth. Why did you buy the car if you saw it had imperfections in the 1st place?

Already had my '07 repainted. I had some orange peel that the stupid dealer couldn't see, so I took it to a Rod shop and repainted it triple black w/ red and yellow flames w/ 3 coats of clear. looks good now!

Over all I am satisfied I suppose but there is ORANGE PEEL and a few dust mites under the clearcoat!
