Paint problems will happen with any make of vehicle. This does not appear to be a major problem for the Ex.
I myself have a small rust spot just under the chrome Explorer logo on the rear liftgate. Getting it repainted under warranty.
What I am real happy about is my dealer outsources the painting to a very good independent shop with a strong reputation.
My experience, and talking others, is that in-house body and paint work done at dealers is generally not up to snuff. You want someone who really specializes in painting and banks their entire reputation on it to do the job. Not car dealers.
Doesn't seem to be a major problem? Read through all the people having problems. Walk the dealer lots and take notice at the problems the 2015 are having. They knew about this is 2012. Ridiculous! And to not take care of people at 36,100 miles is even more ridiculous. Never again will I buy a Ford.
