Looking to get some advice on repairing some paint damage that occurred during transit on my 4-Door FE.
The damage is some chipping on the front fender, near the hood, and on the back fender near the rear door, all on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Because of the location of the paint chips, they are going to need to blend the new paint with the hood, fenders, and both doors. This will also include removing then replacing the FE badging on the fenders, hood and doors.
Because this happened during transit to my dealer, the dealer is covering the cost if the work is done by a certified Ford shop, but I really wondering if the risk of the repair quality is worth the reward of repairing some paint chips. The paint damage looks worse in the pictures than it does in real life.
I’ve only had experience with paint repair once before on another vehicle 10 years ago, performed by a dealer shop, and it was horrendous. That’s really where my concerns are coming from.
What do y’all think?
