Nice to hear I'm not the only with problems doing a gloss coat.

I tried Zero Paints lacquer clear with my just finished McLaren and liked it a lot. I ordered five more jars today, after my initially testing. No idea what the Ford guy did, bubbles , maybe he thinned with Champagne .

Probably following his own manufacturing practices.

Sounds like Farley focused on snap together kits because my Mustang snaps apart all the time.   Not kidding. I ran over a 1” diameter stick in the road. It was about a foot long.  Tire threw it into the rear bumper and it almost took it off.  
And yes, I have the dreaded hood corrosion.  In Fords infinite wisdom, a 2015 has to have corrosion all the way through to be covered but the 2016 just had to have signs of corrosion.  
And if I replace the hood, do you really think I’m putting another Ford part back on just to rinse and repeat a few years later?  
I’ve lost all faith in Fords ability to produce a quality product anymore.

Yeah, gloss coats are the bane of my existence! Always something, orange peel, runs, dust… I feel your pain. What did you end up doing to fix it?
