2017 F-250 Paint Pimples

Hello Everyone! I purchased my dream truck roughly 6 months back after 10 years of saving up for it. After my first few washes I noticed little raised pimples (Contaminated Paint booth) in the white platinum tri-coat paint and light coverage on the tailgate and hood edges. I was really puzzled by this and started to examine the entire truck a bit closer. Every time i washed the truck I would find a few more & more & more... My recent count is 26 (A few on every panel except for the roof). The GM of my local Ford Dealership set his eyes on the truck and also found jagged / sharp interior door seams where the exterior panel meets the interior panel. Ford has agreed to wetsand the areas and repaint the entire truck, which would now mean my almost $80,000 truck would no longer have a factory paint job and would raise eyebrows if I were ever interested in trading in or selling privately. I initially requested that they either buy it back or replace with new and was denied of that request. Any thoughts on where to go from here?

A wet sand and repaint should be better than factory. No worries.

If Ford needs a new QC guy, I'm accepting offers. Feel free to PM me. I'd rather be at the Sheffield Lake plant though.

My yellow F350 work truck came from ford about 3 different colors of yellow, it also had quite a bit of red over spray on it. Our dealer submitted the claim to Ford and had it repainted. It is far better than the other 4 yellow 17’s that we got at the same time last year. I wouldn’t worry about it, mine turned out far better than anything from Ford.

Not sure where you live but a good detailer can pop those pimples for you. Can make your truck look great with just a little love.
