My 2004 is Red and the Clear coat on passenger panel started peeling off. I had the car since 2004 and after taking delivery immediately clayed the car and used a sealant and wax. The car was always garaged and very well maintained. This is just happening on the panel and hasn't spread - but its a few peels. What I did was take fine grit sand paper and feather the edges lightly where the clearcoat is peeling and then use a polish. this seems to have either stopped it or slowed it down.

Having clear coat peeling and paint coming off my mustang. Bought off dealer lot!!! Had It detailed by a excellent detail er that 3 different big auto dealers use to try and get everything buffed out, everything stood out worse. So I took it to a Ford dealer and was first told it was my fault because someone probably hit me from behind in a parking lot shattering my clear coat, that sent me fuming. There is no evidence of my bumper being hit. So I took it to a body shop. They told me that because the clear coat was peeling so bad on the hood, side and rear of the car the only way to fix it is to sand it down and repaint, because not only is the peeling happening but bubbling and this sand grit feel is going on.
I then when to the original Dealer I bought it from, their body guy agreed that yes it does need to be repainted but wouldn't say if it was factory related. I then asked the sales department to get the district manager on the line, explained the situation and am suppose to be getting a phone call back.
Is their anyone else with a 04 or 05 mustang having this problem????

I bought my My 2004 Mustang 2 years ago and the paint on the hood is peeling. As much money as I have paid for this you would think the paint would at least stay on until I have finished paying the car off. I think Ford should act like the men they think they are and allow a recall and repair the paint on the hoods of our cars. It was their people the did the crappy work. What does it take for Ford to admit there is a problem and do something about it?
FORD unstead of Found On Road Dead I would have to say Found On Road Looking like Crap.
