Ford Paint Warranty: Keeping Your Vehicle Shining Like New
Learn about Ford's paint warranty, protecting your vehicle's finish from defects and keeping it looking like new for years to come.
Your Ford’s paint isn’t just about style—it’s a protective barrier that shields your vehicle from the elements and preserves its value.
But what happens when your paint starts to fade, chip, or peel? Understanding your Ford paint warranty and learning about additional protection options can help keep your vehicle looking like it just rolled off the lot.
At Granger Ford, we’re here to guide you through the intricacies of paint warranties and ensure your Ford continues to shine, no matter what the road throws at it.
Ford includes a standard paint warranty with every new vehicle purchase, providing coverage for paint defects and premature deterioration. Here’s what you can expect:
Feature | Details |
Limited Warranty Coverage | Covers paint defects like peeling, cracking, or blistering due to material or workmanship issues. |
Coverage Period | Typically 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, depending on the model year and paint type. |
What’s Not Covered | Environmental damage (e.g., bird droppings, acid rain), scratches from road debris, fading from UV exposure, or improper washing methods. |
While this warranty covers manufacturing defects, it’s important to understand its limitations and the types of damage it doesn’t protect. This is where additional coverage options come into play.
Even with proper care, your Ford’s paint can encounter various issues. Here are some common problems that may arise over time:
Issue | Potential Causes | Warranty Coverage |
Peeling or Cracking | Paint defects related to manufacturing issues. | Covered under standard warranty if caused by defects. |
Fading or Oxidation | Caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight and UV rays. | Not covered under the standard warranty. |
Chipping or Scratches | Road debris or accidents. | Not covered under standard warranty. |
Stains or Discoloration | Bird droppings, sap, or chemicals not removed in time. | Not covered under standard warranty. |
To ensure your vehicle’s paint stays in pristine condition, consider additional protection options, such as Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coatings or the Ford Protect TripleCARE package.
In addition to the standard paint warranty, Ford Protect TripleCARE offers comprehensive protection that covers minor dents, dings, and damage to your windshield.
This optional extended service plan helps you keep your vehicle looking its best without worrying about small damages affecting the overall appearance.
TripleCARE Features | Protection Benefits |
DentCARE | Covers minor dents and dings with the Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process, which removes damage without harming the factory finish. |
WindshieldCARE | Covers repairs to front windshield chips and cracks caused by rocks and road debris. |
TireCARE | Provides protection for tires and wheels damaged by road hazards such as potholes, debris, and nails. |
Unlimited Mileage | Coverage for up to 8 years with unlimited mileage, ensuring long-term protection for your vehicle’s exterior. |
No Deductible | There’s no deductible for approved claims, so you won’t face out-of-pocket expenses for covered repairs. |
