When ordering pieces like that, don't they just come primered? Would have to be painted?

I can't take credit for this (tmcolegr) but here is a TSB refercing what Ford deems warrantable and not with regards to paint.

Boom. Page 7. If it can be seen from all angles, warranty will cover it.

Mine on my Oxford White are doing the same thing. I need to take it for warranty. I've also got a couple of the "chemical pops" that they mentioned. They look like rock chips in places you couldn't get a rock chip, and there's no dents.

I think it is assumed that one should be able to wax their truck. And that a mfg paint job should be able to withstand it. If it doesn't withstand it, then it is defective paint job. OP even used a major brand.

Just imagine all the car washes that could void your warranty. It would destroy that industry if that was the case.

I have a hard time believing it showed up after the wax. Mine has been like that since day one and I haven't waxed it. I saw someone complain at one point that theirs were "pearl" when the truck was oxford. Since the pearl is slightly yellower than Oxford, I assume that it actually was just yellowed. I think it's just a manufacturer's defect/a difference between painted plastic and painted metal.

Exactly. Mine came slightly discolored directly from the lot.
