Tailgate Hinge Unfinished Paint

[Grandpa]

Anybody else out there got what appears to be an unfinished paint job around the hinges of the tailgate? Not a huge deal but definitely noticeable.

Yes, I have the exact same thing on the same spot on my eruption green.

My VB looks similar as well.

After waiting 3 years from pre order and only having it for a few months now, I have been hesitant to take it in and have it sit at the dealership for who knows how long. Where the paint missed or is too light on it, it does have primer exposed so it isnt bare metal and it is only noticeable when looking down at the hinges. It is still disappointing that I will have to take the time to address it and hassel with the dealership over it. It sucks to see ford letting things like that slip through on $60k-$70k vehicles.

Now that the strike is over, things like this won’t slip past.

Thats the metal they are made of. It's not off of a rolled steel sheet. (I work in an automotive paint shop).

They are all like this. Not a mistake

I think the op is talking about the primer showing on door skin at top of hinge.

I see no primer, modern automotive uses a E-coat not a primer. All I see in the picture is a sag at the top of the gate.

You guys might wanna look a little closer. There is barely any paint on the door panel just above the hinges. Mine does not have that issue and I wouldn't be happy if it did. These thing are built kind of rough but visible missing paint is a whole other level.

I only see the reflection of the hinge in the clear coat.

Yup, my EG is like that on my 23 wildtrak
