good luck with the paint problem rick

 

Yes , the dealer made the repairs. I would suggest going to a few different dealers & go with the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Look around, see if they mask the cars up real good ,have a clean paint booth & shop , Explain what you expect ,& if they are still enthusiastic about doing it ask them to put their best guy on it. Not the fastest , the best.
It's not that big of a deal, they will blend the basecoat then clear the panel. I got all worked up when I started noticing the thin paint , but it all worked out & I pretty much forgot about it untill I saw your post

 

Kansas City here................ I am all ears here

I was one of many who personally built these street machines and if you have a warranty or quality issue, address Ford Motor Company. You are entitled to have your concerns addressed and corrected within warranty. I personally can say I wrote many a HD at night for paint concerns, but cannot catch all 12,559 units since I cannot be in 2 places at once around here.

Good Luck and believe me, Harley Davidson and Ford Motor Company want you, our customer, happy and cruising for years to come!

The SuperCrew's F150 where never build in Ontario, only regular and supercabs.

 

Thanks ShowYa! I will pursue it, and since you are listening here, I guess that Ford realizes the problem and has taken steps to correct it.

Thanks again,

I had paint problems also. I have a '99 deep wedge wood blue reg cab Flareside. My truck had little white lines all over it which where hairline cracks in the paint. It look like I dried it with a white towel and got lint all over it. I had to go to a couple dealerships before I found a dealership that would repaint the whole truck. The bad thing was they would not give me a loaner while they were working on it for about a week. It has been a couple years and it still looks really good.

Good luck,

 

Showya, so is that the final count on the 02's? or just an estimate? Thanks

 

When we balanced out back in June before our annual 2 week shutdown, we had just hit 12,249 units. I was aware there was roughly 8-12 units that evening that had been caught up in the paint shop that never made it to the floor for production. I am as I said above here, estimating around 12,559 units were built in Kansas City.

hey showya, any chance you can give us an estimate on gray to black ratio? thanks!

 

My money is on the Gray. They seem to be more abundance.

 

oh, thats just about a definate. I say its like 2:1 gray to black if not more.
