Michael Sherrod Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mine is exactly the, and all the edges I have seen at dealerships. For my car, under the hood. It's like a mist of paint on the hard to reach spots. And the middle door pillar. The center has a very light coat. I can the the base coat. Inside the door jams, again. ... towards the middle of the door jam.. You can see it was given only one pass of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ill take pictures of mine to show you guys mine is not like that. They probabbly coat the door jambs with one less coat of paint like they do the interior in order to save money. If they save a $100 per car that would add up fast. I would say the areas you speak of are as good a quality of paint work as everywhere else on the car. Maybe the color has something to do with it. I know that lighter colors are harder to paint because they dont cover as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah. .. kinda suks ford does this. Maybe not all the cars I imagine, has to be a factory thing. All my prior cars have had a healthy thick layer of paint everywhere. This Mt first car I noticed they went so thin, I can see the base coat. But I do like the car alot. Hopefuly tranny won't fall out anytime soon, and hopefully no more big issues form. We got lucky some of us got the extended warranty on the booster. . That's one less thing I worry about now.

I got the black toxedo color. But now I want to see how yours looks since you said it's covered nicely. I will wait for them. :] I would imagine it's too save money, but it just does not look good! I didn't noticed it when I bought the car. After I have it a really good cleaning. .. I noticed it. If I would have seen it before I bought it, I would have stayed away. I like the healthy looking paint jobs. I'm very picky. Edited February 18, 2014 by 2011edgese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011edgese Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'll have mines up soon in 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I took 5 pictures. But only one came or ok so you see what I mean with the thin paint. The outdoor light with the sun kills the rest of the pictures. But here's one pic at least. You see the whole yellow glow around the hinge? No paint.

Michael Sherrod Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Was also wondering about my headliner guys! Should I bring this in for them to fix....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 White is hard to see! But it looks nice. I got to clean mines and then take pics. But I yours. . She is it lacking paint? If any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ohh wait. . I see the yellow base. That's pretty much how mines is too. Your headliner looks bad. .. id take it. That stuff bothers me sooo much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sherrod Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah it's really spotty under the hood and the rolled lip of inside the door at the bottom. The lift gate also is spotty inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sherrod Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah man all these little things are killing me. You don't really notice much until you do a "deep" detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Pretty much how my cards looks on the inside of the door jams. Lacking a good thick coat. But oh well. We bought it. e Have to live with it. Of I stick with edges for the future. .. It better have a good coat. Otherwise I move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah man all these little things are killing me. You don't really notice much until you do a "deep" detail. yes. .. inside the tailgate. Same quality. At first when I do a good cleaning, I thought it was just heavy dirty and dust. Lol. You know, when I open the doors or liftgate.. I like the deep gloss and shine everywhere. Every little corner counts for me. I'm very picky. I wax the inside of my doors. . That's how picky I am. Plus it like great when the does are open and is shiny and deep glossy. But hey. .. its just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 That head liner. That kills me! You will get funny looks when you go to the dealer and complain about it. I bet you that. If that thing is under the factory warranty I would push to have that fixed. That looks awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 You guys are super picky. I'm super picky too but you gotta let it go. The paint is not perfect under the hood but i think that is sufficient coverage for a engine bay. You have to remember that your not driving a Bentley. I'll get you pictures when I can get some daylight without snow or rain to get some good shots. I wouldn't go to the dealer to ask them to fix it because it will probably be worse. As for the headliner mine is not like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011edgese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cinnamon. Lol. I would never go in to have them repaint it. Hahaha. Just saying it's porly painted. As for the head liner. .. That thing needs to be fixed period. It's not my car. . But that bugs the heck out of me. I surprised the op has not gotten it fixed already.

2011edgese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cinnamon. .. btw. My sis got a kia. A KIA! 2012. And that is painted fully. A 10k car. Lol. That's why I tend to point it out. But it's really up to us, we shouldn't but these cars if they have terrible quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sherrod Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah I'll go in soon to complain about wind noise for the third time soon too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordService Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah I'll go in soon to complain about wind noise for the third time soon too... Please send me a PM when you head into the dealer again and I'll see what I can do. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cinnamon. .. btw. My sis got a kia. A KIA! 2012. And that is painted fully. A 10k car. Lol. That's why I tend to point it out. But it's really up to us, we shouldn't but these cars if they have terrible quality. I agree that it should have better coverage in the door jambs in those pictures. I personally wouldnt bring it in to Ford to get resprayed. As long as the metal is covered with paint and clear and areas that I can see on an everday basis are covered well, it doesnt bother me. if it was like the picture with the hinge and primercoat was visible while entering the car then I would ask if they could make it right. But under the hood and in a area that would only be seen laying on the ground or after removing the door I wouldnt worry about. Ill shoot some pictures tonight of my paint work so you guys can see what mine looks like. My sister has a 2013 Hyundai Elantra(upgraded KIA) and I can see how thin they apply the paint. You can see the "clouding" of the metallic on a sunny day. That only happens when they dont apply enough basecoat. I think someone should take their Edge to Ford and see what they say.

Michael Sherrod Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I already have. They showed me all their edges and even at another dealer and they are all the same, therefore they can't do anything about it since its normal....
