GSORK, I don't have an answer for a specific product but would suggest if you want to D-I-Y you might check for a local automotive paint supplier in your area and check with them. I have never attempted a repair such as this and don't have any idea as to all of the required steps, but I supsect you need some other supplies (ie. sanding papers etc.) along w/the paint. Hopefully someone else in the forum has done this type of repair before and can provide some helpful information.

If you perform this task, it would be interesting if you did a photo log showing your process and results. BTW, welcome to Detail City.

How old is this car? those are recent models, would this not be something covered under warranty

o7 with 31,000 not sure about warr

Bring it to the dealership and tell them to fix it under warranty. No reason for paint to be peeling at 30,000 miles on a 2 year old car.

Bumper to bumper 3 years or 36000 miles.
Power train 5 years or 50,000 miles

I'd definitely make a warranty claim. Shouldn't be a reason that a factory paint job is peeling after two years (unless you or your son have done something to contribute).

[Mr. Clean]

A good example of a-s-s-u-m-e I assumed that possibility was already ruled out. GSORK, that would be my first call. Let your local Ford service rep take a look at it and possibly ask for a regional service rep get involved if you don't get help at the local dealership level.

You say the car is newish to your son. Are we to take it he didn't purchase it new ? If not the history of the vehicle comes into play. Ever been hit or repaired ? Maybe even repaired when still at factory or on dealers lot. More info is needed to make a informed decision. Paul S

CARFAX is ok when a insurance claim is made or on a totaled vehicle but minor repairs rarely show up on a report. Paul

Rust/Corrosion yes, but not on paint issues.

Yup, any time you have an insurance claim, 99% of the companies share the data that's reported to CARFAX.
