Chrome flaking on tail light bezels?

[JoeBob]

I have a 2010 SHO with 55k miles that has the chrome peeling on the tail ligh bezels. It seems that the chrome coating is defective. Anyone have this issue? Id assume this isnt covered under any warranties or certified pre-owned coverage.

Any suggestions? Is plastidip the best option?

A common problem with the 2010's and possibly 11-12 too. At 55k, it will not be covered under warranty. Your options are to live with them, Plasti Dip them (I did this to my 2010) or get 2010-12 SEL tail lights that are all red instead of chrome.

even the replacement lights peel aswell so id just get the lower trim ones thats what im going to do.

Awesome...

How did you prep the assembly for plastidip? What color did you go with? My car is silver so im not sure what color would look best if I go that route..

My 12 has the same issue with 13K on the clock. Ford is deciding now whether or not to replace the lights. It should be a no brainer. The car is still under warrantee.

Just made sure the lenses were clean and masked off the paint and remainder of the light lens. My 2010 was Red Candy, so I did black. I think black would look good on silver too. The good thing about Plasti Dip is that if you don't like it, you can just peel it off.
