AskSmithy Xtra BF Fairmont precious paint

Asked by Greg Ladbrook

My Shockwave 2006 BF Fairmont seems to have a very delicate paint finish. It scratches very easily and there are a couple of small areas where the paint seems to have just fallen off with no dent or damage? It's as if the paint has not bonded correctly to the panel. Have you heard anything like this, or is it an isolated case?

It was a common problem with Shockwave and Ford was repairing those cars affected. Take the car back to the dealer and ask to have the affected areas repainted. You shouldn’t be charged for the work.
