How much to do that and how long did it last you?
I had a 1996 Explorer. No transmission trouble but, after 4 years and 37k miles the paint started cracking all over the hood, roof, etc. I took it to a friend who owned a body shop who said the primer was shrinking. They only way to properly fix it was take the vehicle back down to bare metal and prime and paint everything.
Of course, Ford corporate would not help me at all because I was about 4 months beyond my 3 year/36000 mile warranty.
However, the owner of the dealership ended up repainting the entire vehicle for $500. He stated that was his cost just for the labor.
Less than 3 grand. It happened at about 70,000 miles (yeah, out of warranty) and lasted until I got rid of the car for other reasons at about 90K with absolutely no further issues. An accident involving an icy road made the tranny a moot point.
