What if there is a pot-hole at approx. 127 degrees, 17 minutes?

Sorry forgot to add some specifics.

Pot-hole is 127 degrees, 17 minutes, from the 5th oak tree approx. 27ft, 13in from the left side of the paved road.

You would have to sand off the clear coat to get to the color coat and then clear coat it again. You may also find that the color coat is too thin in spots and will have to repaint that as well. Too costly, all Fords (and most other manufacturers as well) have it and the dealer wont do anything about it.

Mine is in the color coat not the clear. My wife's Focus is worse than the truck. It is also in the color coat. As mentioned before it is common due to the high solids content of todays paints and the low VOC solvents used. Proper spray techniqe and paint mixing can minimize it.
