How's your paint??

[VaderMachE]

For those that have been lucky enough to get your MME, how's the paint job? I ordered a shadow Black and when it arrived, went over it closely. I have to give props to @Ford Motor Company this is one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen! I'm a detailer as a hobby and have corrected lots of flaws in paint work. This car is stellar. So, how was your paint when the vehicle arrived, and are you happy with it?

the Rapid red paint is superb no orange peeling, smooth glossy and no imperfections noted when I washed it. Definitely worth the $400 extra for RRM

My infinite blue is the best OEM job I have Owned. Better than my Vette was and much better than my 3 previous new MoPAR products. Absolutely superior to my ‘19 orange Peel’d Hyundai EV. It’s as near perfect as I would expect from any manufacturer for a mass produced car. Also the steel and aluminum stamping are extremely good with no indirect ripples, creases or subtle denting typically seen on mass produced vehicles. I love to see the aluminum F150’s that I pass (or pass me). I have the urge to “wave” back at them.

The sad part about having a car this good is my parking Anxiety. I stress about leaving it unwatched and having the risk of an inconsiderate driver dinging it. I want to keep it looking as good as it does forever. I know that’s impossible for a daily driver, but I am trying.

The paint on my Grabber Blue was excellent from the factory. When my detail guy worked on it for PPF and ceramic he was impressed with the paint quality.

I received a beautiful star white metallic in February with a minor scratch on back lift door. I feel this car exterior does not resist small chips and scratches like I would like it to. (Maybe I just care more about the appearance of this car? )Also the dealer touches up with straight white which does not blend in. If this was your car...?

Infinite Blue. It appears to be perfect.

I have black. It was the WORST paint I have ever had on a car... and I've had black on two other SUVs. It was on the dealer lot for 2 days and I know the dealer put it through an automatic car wash at least one time in that timeframe. When I took possession, it had worse swirl marks than my wife's VW SUV I have had for 3yrs that has been through an automated (brush) car wash about 30 times. Either it came from the factory with those swirls or the paint was so soft it "swirled" immediately. When I had a detailer put ceramic coating on it, they had to do paint correction... Yes paint correction on a BRAND NEW car with <100km on the odometer.

It's more of a design issue but there is one area under the back window where water pools, even after drying the car and even after using a leaf blower to blow the water off... when water pools there, it leaves dirt/debris/stains there that are hard to clean off. It's the most annoying area of the car when it comes to washing/drying it.

Other than these, loving the car. Most fun I've had in a car in a long time.

I have star white and I love it. When clean it as a nice metallic finish. Stays clean and hides dirt well.

Infinite blue with an early February build. No issues. My detailer installing the ceramic coating was very impressed by it as well. She was used to dealing with Tesla's and having to call the Tesla reps about some paint jobs that are bad enough they shouldn't be coated.

The paint job is on par with our 2020 Raptor.

The Infinite Blue paint job on my car is gorgeous.
I will say that I am taking extra care with this car - installed PPF on the front and a DIY ceramic coat. I'm not putting a ton of miles on it and it is garaged, but once a week, I go over the entire car with detail spray and constantly monitor for bird droppings. I think it's the nicest paint job I've had on a car.
