....it is getting fixed and painted as soon as I get the rest of my kaminari lip kit in so it can all be done at the same time. But my feelings are still hurt
also another bright note, my Steeda SRI and Ford Racing UDP/belt are on the way...
also soon to be on the way are 2.25 magnaflow cat-back, black 17 inch MSR 138 wheels and tires, Hella projectors (if i can get the cash in time) and KW cup kit... will post pics as progress is made..

I bet I can guess how this happened. I see it occassionally in the paint booth.

If an inexperienced person is sanding dirt out of the prime and sands down to the metal, past the ecost, it needs to be reprimed before painting. Looks like it was never done. Even if the car is just clear coated as the primer and then basecoat clear coat again, that would be fine. But a single trip thru the spray booth will result in this.

ford ended up covering my re-spray on my hatch trunk lid... even though the rust was a lot less than yours. did you check with them to see how long the warranty coverage is for rust?

I tried brining it in but they said it was a 90$ diagnostic fee to determine whether or not it was rust that is covered..I guess there is different kinds...?..
