I am still waiting (a little over 3 months from ordering) for my Redfire GT, and from looking through some posts, I was wondering if any Redfire owners were having problems with the paint job???? Any unusual chipping, hard to remove water spots??

 

Well mine is awesome, no problems, other than known strut bearing issues everyone seems to be having, ford is working on fix supposedly. Other than that redfire is the way to go. Beautiful, with the metallic in it. When it is clean, boy oh boy does it turn heads, and looks gorgeous. No issues with paint chipping etc. here. But I only have about 1500 miles on it. Good luck

 

Only problem is when it's dirty, hten it's not metalliac. But when clean, sodaman is right on, saying it turns heads.
Do the Zaino thing and it has a totally wet appearance that is unbelievable.
:bang: Only other color we considered was black. But after owning a couple of black cars; knowing how they look 10 minutes after cleaned .... we passed

 

Awesome....awesome......awesome describes this colour. No problems at all with water spots. You won't be disappointed.

 

Dayummm guys, I need to get my Redfire GT Zainoed up this weekend! I got a big box of it sitting right here!

 

I got some big water spots see !

No... So far 1 little chip in the hood, car looks great when clean and waxed

 

I have trouble with water spots here if I don't chamois it and don't keep on top of the waxing, but that's not the fault of the paint, the water is on the hard side here. Redfire does seem to amplify the water spots; my 93 Canary Yellow is affected as well, just not as obvious. No chips yet, knock on wood...

 

I have over 16000 miles on mine now and have no problems whatsoever with paint quality. My car has seen an entire Wisconsin winter as well.

I do have 6 coats of Zaino on it atm and absolutely love the way it looks!

 

6100 miles and no problems. Have heard nothing but positives from those that admire.

 

Let's see some PICS REDFIRES !!!!!

 

IMO Redfire is like black in a way. KEEP IT CLEAN and it is the most stunning color you'll ever see. Let it get dirty and it looks dirty and dull QUICK. It's a hard color to keep clean much like black, so you have to do the maintenance. Wash it every week, and before dates, etc. to impress.

 

Im with futurestang on this one. The car leaks amazing after i wash and wax it, then we get a dust storm or something here in phoenix, and i want to cry

 

I haven't had any problems with water spots, but I have experienced a few rock chips up front. Redfire is a great color, and looks incredible after being waxed and polished.

 

16K on it already?!?!?!?! Holy poop!!

Matt

 

I was thinking the same thing...phew!! I have 3500 and I thought I was driving it hard.

 

No chipping problems, other than the big rock that did a gainer off of my hood. Keep it clean, and if you live in a hard water area like I do, just use the coin-op and make sure to rinse with the "spot-free" setting.

 

Just rained on my car and cloudy. So it's indoors with flourescent lights, but here is redfire with painted mirrors...hope you like!!!

 

I don't know if it can be blame on Ford paint quality but I noticed a lot of small paint chipping on my Redfire. Never noticed that on my previous car but I'm certainly paying more attention to the Mustang... Anyway it's kind of depressing but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the color...

 

I hadn't seen painted mirrors yet. I don't know I think I like the black better.

 

I was thinking about getting my mirrors painted as well but now that I've seen them, I'm not so sure...
