Default 2021 paint issues


So, these started appearing on the hood and a bit on a fender. They seem to be under the clearcoat. They dont feel like scratches or something that was spilled everywhere. Do any of you guys know what could have caused this? Would Ford cover this considering the truck was bought new and it has 1800 miles.

Interesting. Been a painter for 23 years and I've never seen that before. Do you have a better pic? Looks like contamination. Definitely bring it in for warranty

Going for user name of the year award?

When you go to Ford to ask about the warranty, be sure to be on your best behavior.

If they can determine the paint is bad and the clear is undamaged, it should be a warranty fix.
The amount of scratches on the hood may persuade their decision.

I would bring it in immediately. Looks like the paint has been corrected? Or is that just good pics?

Hello there, I'd be happy to look into your F-150's paint issue on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.
