TonyTheTiger57 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 My car looks like crap, my taillights are flaking real bad all of a sudden and FORD doesnt want to replace them for me since my car has 55,000 miles.. I guess this is a bitch and rant because I know everyone is having problems with their taillights. I guess I have to shovel over a bunch of money to get new ones on my 2 year old car.

Got5onIt Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Peel off the chrome, tape off the light, hit the edges with plastidip. Or get some touch up paint (spray can from paintscratch.com), hit the edge up with adhesion promotor, then the body color spray, then clearcoat after that. Much, much, cheaper than dishing out for a new set. Also, it's not hard to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash712us Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 If your set on chrome Tony, I wonder how some 3m vinyl chrome film would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcoBrick Bob Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 All of my EB emblems, including the 2 SHO EB ones` I bought from Tasca Ford, have delamination/peeling issues on "EcoBoost" logo. I am living with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
