Yep, the old bubling paint. The paint warranty is 12 months or 12,000miles for defects, and 5/60 for rust that has eaten through the metal. You probrably fall in between like 99% of people with this problem. Can you post some pictures of the problem? I would still talk to your dealer. If they are nice they may fix it.

I can say from past personal experience. That it, (paint pop outside of Ford) does happen. A guy I know put his 69 Chevy away for the winter last year. Looked great, paint was 3 months old. and over the winter decided to sell it. Advertised in storage, fresh paint. LOL a buyer, cashin hand ($15000.00) talks to him, then says he wants to see it as is dotntouch it, clean it, or anything. LOL ( I have to laugh cuz I can picture his and his wifes faces) SO the guy comes over, they talk, then he goes back to the storage garage he has. Turn on the lights, and very maticulously starts un covering this master peice LOL.
His wife screams... it has acne
The sale was blown, and he had to repaint it.
The cause if Chemical pop or paint pop is simply a chemical interaction between the primer or sealer, and Paint.

Sorry,
As soon as I got home from work my wife dragged me off the state fair with the kids. We didn't get back until 1030 last night. I will post them as soon as I get home from work. They are just small paint blisters. Just like the Ford pickups get over the rear wheel wells before they rust out. Each blaster is rather small but there is many of them. Lets call it poison ivy of the paint.

Yes the rear hatch and the hood are aluminum.

There is different theories on what causes this. The Ford lab guys say it is caused by iron contaminents on the aluminum prior to beprimed and sealed. Or as mustang said it is a chemical pop from a reaction between the sealer, primer, paint etc.... Either way Ford should repair all of these cases, especially for the amount of $$$ we pay for these trucks.
