I also had a lot of problems when my car came back. I went back and got a couple fixed. I know the crash repairer didn't spray the spoiler, they told me they wouldn't be spraying anything but metal. I was just wondering if the clear peeling is another problem to do with Fords painting and if I have any chance of getting it fixed at Fords cost. Thanks

Sorry to bring this old thread back up again. As I said in my earlier posts, I had my Shockwave Xr6 resprayed a couple of years ago. I now have a problem with the spoiler, it looks like the clear coat is peeling off in patches. It started off in one corner but now it is appearing in other places on the spoiler leaving very noticeable whit patches all over it. Has anyone else had this happen? I was wondering if this is covered by Ford. Thanks

As I said on my earlier post I would let anyone I know with shockwave paint about this problem. It has paid off. A mate of mine at the pub has a 2005 xr6 and his paint started peeling and he was panicking. Told him about this forum, he took his car in and got the full respray. So thanks to this forum it has saved 2 people so far. Good work guys Thanks

Well I got my car back on Friday (only took 2 weeks) full respray back to bare metal and it looks brand new. I was a little bit upset because I didn't have time to take the G6 for a good country run to see how it goes but at least I have my car back now Repair shop said they have another 7 shockwave cars lined up to do Thanks Guys

Thanks to the OP SubJimbo for saving me a lot of money. I stumbled across this forum by fluke and I am glad I did I had no idea this was a common problem with Shockwave paint. My paint started peeling off 2 panels of my 2005 BA about 2 months ago, and I was just about to go into my local crash repair and see what it would cost me to get this fixed when I found this forum. Since then 5 panels now have paint peeling I contacted my local ford dealer and they said to bring the car in and they would submit it to Ford. Well there has been no problems at all the car is getting resprayed as I speak and Ford arranged for a hire car (a NEW G6). So thanks to all the posters on this topic for saving me money and a big headache. I will be letting anyone I know with a Shockwave paint job to keep a close eye on it Thanks A LOT Grunta
