Does anyone else have this?

[2021REBEL]

I noticed these few things the day I picked up my truck. Anyone else have anything similar on theirs? There is a few little like raised spots of the paint on my hood. I attached a photo of one of the bigger ones.

I can't tell what I'm looking at, but the paint on my hood looks perfect, well factory perfect.

I’ve found a few on my 19 that I traded in and have noticed a couple on my 21. I’m no body guy, but from talking to a few buddies that know more than I do, they claim it’s probably dirt or a foreign particle that gets on the body part before it gets painted. Take that for what it’s worth because like I said I’m no expert.

Yes, I see. And no, that isn't right. Looks like something got in the paint.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the insight!

Yeah that’s what I think too. I just picked it up yesterday.

would the paint booths not be perfectly free from contamination of any kind? you would think it would be a 'foreign particle' free environment.

That’s why I am very confused as to why this happened.

Without ever really seeing the process in person, I’d say it’s probably a pretty clean environment, but with that being said it wouldn’t take much to get a little something in the air that could make its way into the booth. Considering the size of these trucks, I’ve only found a couple of these on my last two trucks, so I’d say they do a good job of keeping things pretty clean.

Do you think the dealership or warranty could do anything about it? Or just sucks with my luck of the draw.

You could mention it to them and see what their response is. A body guy might be able to buff the spots out. Maybe somebody on here will read this and have some better insight for you. It does suck when you find a flaw on a brand new vehicle. I have terrible Ocd about my vehicles so I feel your disappointment lol.

Okay yeah for sure, thanks so much for your info and insight! Yes lol I am extremely ocd, the truck door panel has like a scuff which is annoying too. Not super happy but I love the truck. I’m just too much of a perfectionist lol.

I know exactly how you feel. This is my 2nd new generation Ram and I couldn’t be happier with it. Enjoy your new ride!

I've seen this sort of thing on every car I've ever owned, a spec of dust hit the truck while it was being painted/clear coated. A paint correction fixes most of these.

Okay, thanks for the insight! I talked to the dealer and they said they can look and see if they can get it approved for it to be sent to the body shop to get fixed

I found two of them by my driver door yesterday. Wasn’t happy about it but oh well.

Yeah, oh well. Still such gorgeous trucks… they’re barely noticeable to a blind eye.

It definitely looks like some dust got on the hood after it was prepped for paint

Yup still gorgeous trucks. I also found that my headliner wasn’t installed correctly. It has a big’o crease on the backside of it.
