Please see my post in the mechanical issues forum about my problem with my paint.
Here's the update. My car went into the body shop on Monday the 23rd to have the paint refinished. Covert Ford in Hutto (the absolute BEST dealer around) calls today to let me know what is going on. The "industrial fallout" on my car is so bad they can't repair it without repainting my whole car. That was my worst nightmare. But before I could say anything the salesman that sold me the car says "we don't want to sell you a new car, especially a Bullitt, that has to be repainted, so we are going down to the Austin store today to pick up a brand new Black Bullitt and we are going to give you a new car".
Holy cow, I am totaly blown away. This is of course what I wanted to happen, but the absolute last thing I expected. I was getting to the point of settling for a new paint job as long as they would warranty it.
So I get to go down in the morning and pick up my brand new Bullitt....again! How lucky can one person be? I get the pleasure of being the first owner of two new Bullitt's.
One sad note, Black Bullitt #3696 is going back to Ford to be destroyed. Oh how that pains me to think of that. I will miss you buddy, you were a great car for 650 miles even if you weren't perfect on the outside.
