Red Paint Fading (Still a Problem?)
I am getting ready to buy a new Expedition and I really like the red but I am leaning towards white, because I had a red bronco II in 1987 that oxidized after a few years. My question to red expedition owners. How has the paint held up? Are the fading red and silver paint jobs a thing of the past or is it still a problem? I live in Texas by the way a lot of hot summer sunshine!!! Thanks for the replies.

They're largely a thing of the past because they weren't clear coated, and almost all factory jobs are clear coated today.
Factory paint on trucks was about half clear coats, and half single stages in 87. A new Expedition will almost certainly have clear. Check with the dealer. Remember a clear PAINT, not some dealer add on.
