I'm sorry to see that paint bubbling/cracking. I thought Ford's paint jobs were supposed to be good? Is there a thread on here that is keeping track of the problems that FiST owners are having with their cars? If not someone should start one, and then approach Ford about these problems.
Factory Damage or Poor Craftsmanship
Can someone take a look at the rear hatch, specifically under the area where the rear license plate lamps are. (where you grab to open).
I was taking a look at it to help me decide on how I want to go about adding a rear view camera.
I should have brought it back to the dealer in the first place for a small paint chip that was repaired terribly, but honestly after detailing it forgot all about it, but now I found this, Im thinking they put on a terrible damaged piece and gave it some crap repair job.

here you can see along the edge, the paint is a different color almost doesn't look painted at all in person. maybe one coat

Its a crappy picture, but just for reference of where the paint chip repair was done, its not even sanded or completely filled in. Look like someone took a price and put a glob of paint and called it a day. maybe in the day light i can snap a better pic, but in the garage it didnt want to come out very good)
