Default scratches holy crap I am about to panic!!!

I have had my 2017 for around a month and good lord the paint scratches easy. I think BBQ paint from a rattle can would hold up better. Does anyone else see this on their truck??

I alway think of the first scratch as liberation from worrying about the first scratch.

I haven't seen this problem, I do have a nice nick on the leading edge of the hood from a rock but my paint is surprisingly durable.

Had my truck since end of April and I got some nice nicks from rocks on the road. Not starches though.

Looks more like a shopping cart ding or something got drug against it.

on my shadow black I swear you breathe on it and its a scratch. BTW the aluminum sucks with shopping carts. they dont scratch it they ding the hell out of it without any force needed. Target cart rolled 2 feet and left a noticeable ding in the passenger rear door. Im sure it can be fixed with PDR but it will just happen again anyway.

That looks like someone went at it with a soldering iron.

When I started looking for a truck I had a very small hope that I probably didn't even speak aloud that I would stumble across a brand-new truck in any color at a steep discount because of a bad or damaged paint job that had every feature I wanted in a truck.

I've been looking for an excuse to Line-X a truck. I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

Post a picture so we can see what you're dealing with.
