So like the title says. I watched my truck come off the truck at the dealer yesterday, and noticed a paint issue. The paint on the doors do not match the sides of the Bronco. I also found window glass pieces on the inside. The seam sealer on both doors appear to be factory gun applied, but the paint is way off. Has anyone else had this happen? It's VB and there was a 2 month period that it was in production. Any advise is welcomed.

Edit - top pic shows is most realistic to in person viewing, the bottom pic is least noticeable.

I wouldn’t accept that. It is noticeable. I would have dealership repaint the rear fender and blend with door. The front fender and door match. Is the driver’s side the same?
Actually, the door is off, the fender\quarter are matched fine. The Drivers side is less noticeable but it has the same issue.

i agree, but something is up especially if he found glass inside. I’d want someone to answer some questions.

Did you put new tires on it already? Or did Ford start putting BFG’s on Broncos and I missed it? (I know raptor has BFG)

Badlands always came with BFGs guys. It's not Sasquatch, those are the upgraded wheels.

Since 2dr VB BLs happen to be the best looking configuring in my opinion, I've seen a lot of pictures of them. I've never noticed mismatched colors til now. Something happened for sure. What's odd is that both doors are off.

Are you saying that mine is the first one like this, or you started seeing others like this as well recently?

VB was a close second. And yes, the Optional wheels are the best.

Wow….. There is an interesting story here I’m sure, but the terrible thing is that Ford let this be delivered.

Does it look different in all lighting conditions? If not, it could the be flop of the metal flakes is different on the doors. This happens if a respray is not done properly, and has to do with static electricity from what I’ve been told (I’m not a painter). I had a repair done on my ST years ago and it took three trips back before they got the flop right.

This could explain the glass as well. Have an accident with the door, take it off for repair and a respray in a different shop…

This is exactly what I think is going on. Yes, different at all angles\lighting.
