Cooter32 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have 2010 with 106K miles and just noticed, today, two areas about 3 inches in length where the paint is gone! It looks like it just un-bonded from the surface. Its bare steel underneath. Has anyone else seen or heard of this? I am not looking forward to the prospect of having to re-paint this truck.

Have you exceed 200mph speed that could be a a reason for the paint pilling off☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Have had same thing on roof of my 35,000 mile 2013. Dealer said Ford would warranty it, strip and repaint entire roof. I dont trust dealer not to make a mess of my vehicle based on how they handled other service work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMartin Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 There's some missing paint on my 2010. It's on the roof, so I figure some rust conversion primer and rattle can white Krylon will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 2010 ius out of warranty. Do several coats. Use Duplicolor to match the OEM shade of white. Then spray several clear coats. Wet sand. Wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMartin Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thinking about this a little more - 2010 was during the time when all kinds of paint was moving to low VOC sealants. It didn't work as well as the stuff that kills everything for a while, and Transit Connects are not the only thing that had paint problems. Rickenbacker guitars were notorious for paint bubbling in the 2000s for a while. I think the paint chemistry problem has been solved now, but it sure wasn't for a while.

mdarren Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 My TC had a small paint defect. I used the touch-up paint that I got from paintscratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I bought the Motorcraft touch up paint offered at the Ford dealership , works well and is matched perfectly to the vans color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not too difficult to match the color. Problem I encountered on my motorcycle was getting the clear coat right. Most clear coats are good as long as they do not encounter a petroleum based solvent. A lot of rubbing compounds have petroleum solvents in them. My solution was 2K SprayMax clear coat. Great stuff but have to be very careful with it as the harder is a dangerous chemical. As for a clear coat it is spectacular, ver hard and resistant to gasoline. I'm not even attempting to spell the hardener as I have an engineering degree and cannot spell. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMartin Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If your paint is going to come in contact with petroleum products, the usual stuff will not be any good. You can get catalyzed clear coat that solves the problem. It's expensive and you have to use the whole aerosol can once you start, since it will set up like epoxy. I figured this out when fuel ate the paint on my race bike's tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a white TC, it's actually pretty common - Google 'Ford White Paint Flaking Off" and you can read for a week! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMartin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 There's all kinds of paint flaking off my TC now. I figure it will flake off for a while, then I'll just get the whole thing repainted. Maybe white, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
