This has just started happening on my truck.. 2 area's the paint has chipped away and now it just shows black where the paint was.. Im not liking this too much.. What is causing this? When i was test driving Expys a few weeks ago most of them had BIG black spots all around the dash where the paint has come off. I dont put any cleaning products or shines on the dash.. I use a damp rag and go over the area then a dry rag and dry. Anyone else having this problem?

 

tan dashes are worse about peeling for some reason, not sure why. maybe they didnt prep them correctly at the factory? (FWIW i dont have issues with either of my grey dashes)

IIRC someone (dupoint maybe) sells a can of spray paint that matches exactly the color of the dash if you need to fix a spot or two.

 

The pos expy we have has a grey dash and it has a small spot on it.. But you are right the tan dashes are the ones i saw problems with.

 

I have tan int in my lariat and expy both chipped even though they were well taken care of with dressing. i just painted the chipped pieces and did a color theme. garnet and gold FSU (aka maroon and tan lol)

 

I guess you have a weekend repaint project

 

mine did that too,in my opinion I think the paint they used had some kind of defect and age is also a factor. Pretty easy fix though

 

same here. 97 did it and 03 is doing it too, both tan.

 

mine does it too. i just spray painted my surround black.

 

Damn we have a 2000 Expedition with tan interior and My 2001 F150 with tan interior and no chipping yet...knock on wood just in case lol

 

Yeah mine did this a couple of years ago now...back then, the only ptm interior paint I found was from a company on eBay for around $36 per can shipped so I just used duplicolor flat black to contrast instead of trying to match. Idk how that would look on a KR interior though.
I was in autozone the other day though and I'm pretty sure I saw interior factory-matched paint cans for pretty cheap. Can't remember the brand but you might check that out. Painting is pretty easy and I've had pretty good results so don't worry about screwing anything up. Worst case scenario, let it dry, sand it down again and repaint it.

 

My kr has the the same problem where my keys have hit the dash. I tried to get factory ford medium parchment paint, but of course they couldn't get it... When summer rolls around, I'm going to have to order some paint online and give it a shot.

 

Have the same problem I just leave it. Looks like a work truck then... That is if you are into it!

 

My grey dash has this problem too. Although, in my case its from my dog putting her feet on the dash when she sees a squirrel or something. No sense in fixing it now cause this will continue to happen.

 

the beige has been removing itself from my dash too

 

ive got the same problem with mine on the tan.
