Not very good I dont thnk :P...

I love my colour anyways :)

Holy cow, that ain't good

Have you been washing the car with a high pressure washer or gun at a self serve commercial car wash place like Pro wash

They usually run at 1100 psi and at that pressure, the paint can be damaged if the water is sprayed at the paint from within a few feet

If that's not the case and you have been hand washing it then it is definately a ford australia factory caused problem

Geez it looks thin

factory paint is only one layer primer one layer colour and one on some colours one layer clear... that's y it looks so thin. the whole thickness of paint on one of these is less than one coat of hi-fill....

PFFT. 1100 psi is nothing for this kid.

Sorry if it offends some but it was on the news. Mods can delete if they want.

Haha you nuff nuff.

Well mate, if anything it'll stand out even more now.

Here's some pics of it when it had about 20,000ks ish on it. About 12 months old. This was my method as mentioned above, and it looks sensational. It'll look like this after a respray!

At least Ford are doing the right thing. I had a similiar thing happened to a VS GrubSnort I bought new in Bribane, they wern't really interested, and ever since then I have never been interested in the junk the produce. I think it will look 100% brand new when it comes back
