1998 Red Paint Going Bad
My 1998 XLT is Red with silver Trim. I bought it new on 6-3-98. The metal plaque inside the door jam tells me the truck was built in 9/97. This means the truck sat on lots for 6 to 8 months before I got it. The red paint had some 'swirls' in it when new. Most of it came out, not all.
I have the truck waxed every 3 or 4 months. I wash it every 2 weeks on average. My detailer thinks the paint is deteriorating very rapidly these last couple of years. He now thinks a new paint job is in order. He is very shocked, since he knows the paint is well cared for. He thinks I might have gotten a defective paint job.
Anybody have any experience in this area?
