Angry Speaking of problems........

Anyone else notice any blemishes in the paint like almost orange peel. I have this on my driver side front, the rear passenger side, and the tailgate panel. In some areas it looks like black paint droplets, on the hood it looks like they painted it and let it drip down. I remember someone else writing about this. Also how can I make the swirls and scratches go away?

Gwerks, Some of the Lightnings have paint defects. My boss's husband is the body shop manager for a big dealer here in Dallas. He has had to repaint two Lightnings and described the situation just like you do. My goodness, I would be sick sick sick. Ford is aware of it I'm sure. Make sure your dealership has a good paint system!!! You will probably need an overall. Bummer.
