I have purchased a secondhand 2009 Seduce FG XR6 Falcon sedan. I have recently noticed that the clear coat is very thin and starting to lift, and it looks like there is dirt in the paint. Have you heard of any other Falcons with this problem and would it be covered by the factory warranty?
Ford had some problems with one colour in the BF, but we haven’t had any reports of problems with the FG. If it is a problem from the factory I would think it should covered by the warranty, but make sure it isn’t a result of a shoddy crash repair before you blame Ford. It would also be worth having a paint specialist, such as Graham Cuthbert (0422 444 335), inspect it and give you an opinion and report, so you have some solid evidence to give Ford if you go down that route.
