Factory paint flaws

I was wondering if any of you guys have found any factory paint flaws on your Cobra's? If so where and what. Thanks.

Mine has some imperfections at the passenger side C pillar above the quarter window. It has some bumps (like weld slag) that was covered over with paint very nicely. It doesn't bother me, it's how the car came.

Those bumps over the quarter windows , that you are seeing is the lead covered seam were the roof panel joins the quarter panel. Usually it is because of the lead coming loose or if moisture gets behind rust will start pushing the lead up. If it starts getting worse you will probably have to have the lead removed and replaced with a plastic body filler. But back to the subject, these cars are painted by ford so yes they do have paint flaws. some have multiple layers of paint from the factory, dirt in the paint and heavy paint texture on one panel smooth on the others. The most common mine are foriegn particle in the paint, although there are very few.
