We had our first real rain of the year a couple days ago. We need it, it makes us all happy.
What does not make me happy is what it apparently did to my truck. It literally peeled the paint off part of the hood!! I was not aware of a problem with the paint prior to the rain, which is to say the paint was there, the entire hood was white. The paint was not bubbled. Now, after the rain, there are rather large sections where the white has flaked off and it's down to the gray primer.
Now I know that Ford paint was terrible for a period of time, but this is ridiculous. I can begin to understand paint wearing thin, but flaking off in the rain?
Three pictures to show the damage.
One picture shows paint flakes on the pavement in front of the truck. One shows the paint literally lifting off the hood. The third shows the extent of the damage. This is, btw, on the '92 CC.
