One of my friend has problem with FORD FIGO painting...!!!















"""  Hi Guys,

This thread is with regards to the specific paint issues that i am facing with my car, i.e. Ford FIGO.

Kindly give a look at the issues that are pertaining with the quality standards of FORD India and let me know the resolution that i should take for the same.

please note that the pics have been taken from all sides of the car and rarely in my car you would find which is not affected by this issue.

THIS REPORT IS NOT TO HARASS ANY PARTICULAR CAR MAKER BUT JUST MAKE YOU AWARE WHAT ALL IS HAPPENING AROUND  YOU IN THIS CENTURY..

  1. Looks too bad. The pre treatment before the painting is the culprit. They have to strip the paint completely, do the pre treatment properly and re paint. Not an easy job in fully assembled condition.

    I hope the problem will be resolved to your complete satisfaction. A simple repaint may look o.k. for some days, but you will get the problem again in a few months.

  2. I would do a paint chip repair and carry out a full body detail.

    If possible, get a underbody anti-rust spray(available with Wurth and 3M).

    Sand down the rust and spray it on the underbody areas.

    The 'bubble' formation is a real pain. Its called 'solvent pop'.
    Only solution to that is repaint.

    Has the rear hatch been repainted??
    the paint flow is generally seen in repainted panels!!

    And the pitting seen in the last pic of 1st post is the aftermath of 'solvent pop'(has it been repainted?)

    I guess the car(most panels) were repainted at dealership level maybe due to some mishap.(and it was a shoddy coverup job rather than a full repaint!)

    The paint marks on the interiors show that the car has seen paintbooth! Painter might have touched the dash while he was painting the car.

    You can check whether any dent correction was carried out or not by looking on the inside of the panels!!

    (like if you remove the fender and see that its been beaten from the inside = repairs carried out at dealership level before purchase!)

    Most others are rock chips and reminders of some seriously crappy roads the car has seen!

    And in case your car's metal is exposed due to any reason, always try to cover it up with touch up paint or some clearcoat so that it doesn't undergo rusting!
