Funny story. I took mine into the dealership to replace the front windshield adhesive for the recall. They drove it to a glass replacement shop. When I got it back, there was a black chip on the front of the hood. It felt just like a rock chip, even the service advisor thought so. But he got a wet rag to wipe it off and it came off. It was a splattered bug gut. :LOL:

I've also scratched the paint on the tailgate. Had a wire basket back there that rubbed my paint right off.
I didn't even think about how the tail gate is just painted metal surface on the inside too. Any other SUVs or hatchbacks I've had have something over it. Maybe an organizer or something on there isn't such a bad idea after all.

Is there an online link to order paint correction pen?
There probably is, but Iā€™ve never ordered online. Here is the actual part.

Iā€™d call or visit your dealerā€™s parts department. Almost always cheaper and faster that way. Your dealer can order directly from the regional Ford/Motorcraft part distributors and usually can get it to you for the best price.

Alsoā€¦ at most dealers you can pay for parts/accessories with FordPass points. So if you have a bunch of points from buying your Bronco you can probably get it for free.

Ignored it. Mine had a small chip from shipping, dealer saw it I didn't and still have trouble finding it. The body shop was going to paint one entire side of the Bronco for a couple thou (at shippers expense). I'd rather have factory paint with a small flaw than a repaint of an entire side, so I told them to forget it.

Still in my first week of driving...nothing yet. But I know its coming sooner or later so I have already mentally prepared myself for the inevitable lol Like most have said on here, its a truck so enjoy it. Dings and scuffs are part of the adventure. Just as long as my truck doesn't explode I'm good lol

No rock chips that I know of yet, but my first chip was removing the passenger door for the first time since Ford decided to not use any grease in the hinges. I just used the ford touch up paint and clear coat pen. good as new.
Same thing happened to o my door. Where did you get a ford touch up pen clear coat pen. Iā€™m sure I could search but figured Iā€™d go to the guy that had the same issue.

Thanks
