Poor paint coverage?

[The Last Cowboy]

Mine look like that, except not as noticeable on white. I'm not letting them touch it. Warranty work is paid late and low. Not going to give them a chance to make it worse by cutting corners or putting the new guy on it.

It's a problem with the robotic paint system they have. It would make more sense to paint the body and hinges separately, but it would involve more labor and cost as the doors, tailgate and hood would have to be painted separately then reassembly would have to happen without scratches. There is no paint under any of the hinges the way it's done now.

If you use a wax that leaves white residue, clean it off and use a wax that leaves no residue. Also, you can buy wax specifically for black vehicles, that will leave black residue in imperfections instead of white, making them far less noticeable.

That’s good to hear. I think the clear coat is still on though? And did you just live with it?

Yes. I made the assumption a long time ago that my hinges will show corrosion at some point and that all of hinges will need to be repainted anyway

Is this because of the whole corrosion thing many people have?

Yes. Good luck finding a used JL from 2018 or 2019 that doesn’t have corrosion issues somewhere. It seems inevitable.

I have a ‘21. Is it more prevalent on the first year models?

I was waxing the jeep today, and never noticed this. Seems to be some weird splattered paint (or lack thereof) around the rear tailgate door hinge and the bolt. Almost like the sprayer got lazy and didn’t cover it all? Anyone see this before? I circled the stuff in red.

Does this have a rough texture when you touch it? Did you end up getting this fixed?

I'll have to feel it, not sure and can't remember as I posted this a few weeks ago lol. I've since forgotten about it as it seems its normal coming out of the factories.
