Does Ford’s extended warranty cover paint?

I know my Ford’s basic warranty doesn’t cover damage to my paint caused by the elements, but I bought an extended warranty, as well. Does this cover fading paint?

Ford’s extended warranty might cover paint.
You’re right though, most vehicle warranties don’t cover damage to paint from the environment. But if the Ford Protect plan you purchased included SurfaceCARE coverage, then your paint job is covered.
The Ford Protect SurfaceCARE Limited Warranty provides comprehensive protection for your car’s interior and exterior surfaces. This includes damage to paint caused by:
  • Weather-induced fading
  • Loss of gloss or oxidation
  • Hard-water etching
  • Industrial fallout and acid rain
  • Bird droppings, tree sap, and insects
  • Accidental paint overspray
  • Road salt and de-icing agents
Maintaining your car’s paint job is about more than just looks—it’s about protecting your car. Another key factor in protecting your car is ensuring you have it covered with quality
car insurance
.
Luckily, having great coverage doesn’t mean you have to pay high
