Angry paint issues

hello all, I just got my truck back from the repair faucility, took care of a few scatches,and dents, he told me that my 03 sd will have paint issues, like the older ford f-serirs did. nothing has started yet but I hope this finish will last I have had enough issues with this 6.0 sd let it not start in a few yrs with the paint. I didn't believe him but he showed me the tech bullitens he receives from the industry indicating what series of f model have faulty finishes,but of couse mine is one of them. Has anyone else here of this.

I would just take care of it real good. Wash and wax often and maybe keep it covered.

I haven't heard anything yet. I've seen plenty of 6-oh!'s with over 50kmiles and no paint problems. What did the bulletin say?

its related agian to build dates (Early ones) and the process of sealers to finish coat,the brands of materials used in the process, to production issues. I'm currently working out of town and trying to get the bulliten from the repair center that brought it to my attention but due to my wicked work schedule is slowing this down. the thing is i had a early 90's f350 that had the wonderful paint problem and i just don't want this to happen to this one because that was a painting nightmare, but i will get the info out as soon as i get it.
