Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has had paint runs on the front grill and if so what you did about it.
Maybe best to just replace the grill, how long did it take, etc.
Thanks in advance.

That is TERRIBLE!!
Bring that back to your dealer and have them swap it out for a new Heritage grille - this should be covered under warranty!.

I had a similar issue as well, Looked to be a run, but then somebody wiped it so there was a weird smudge in the paint. I caught it at the dealer, and they ended up repainting, they did a crappy job it was better than the large fingerprint sized smudge

You know what, I had a run similar to that on my front quarter panel down by the bumper. The dealer has a guy who comes in a couple times a month for paint repair. He did an amazing job and I canā€™t even find where the paint run was now, and I looked hard for it. Didnā€™t cost me a dime.

I bet that can fix your grille.

Definitely a warranty issue. Or if you know what youā€™re doing, extremely fine automotive wet sanding can fix that. Then a good polish and protective coating and youā€™re good to go.

Hey there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.
