By BF it was well and truly resolved. I highly doubt you will have any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be stripped back to bare metal and painted properly.I'm actuall pretty happy as he said the paint will look 10 times better when they do it properly and the only drama is he is saying 4 weeks with no typhoon only a rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in-law is getting his car repainted now for the same problem 05 BF. He found out through a friend that he could claim his paint work which was starting to peel in places under warranty. I have a Mercury Silver BF and I must say that this being my first Ford the paint quality is poor. I am concerned that this problem may not only be with Shockwave Blue? You would think in this day and age Ford could paint a car properly!Cheers Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerthPete Member 10 Member For: 18y 6m Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 20/05/09 02:02 AM Share Posted 20/05/09 02:02 AM I was the proud owner of an XR6T for four years which at the time was the most exciting and exillarating vehicle I had owned until 18 months ago - I bought a new F6 - this is like belonging to an exclusive club - the acknowledgment that you get from GT-P and F6 owners is brilliant - it is a lovely hugely responsive car -and gets those Mazda 6 and Audi owners all psyched up to try and show you what they have - the answer....not a lot!
