Ford full body paint

I've noticed some pics lately of the Ford chassis Forester with the hood painted. Specifically the center of the hood to match the front cap. Is this new or something that was done for a short time.

Hopefully my 2801 built in early December will have the change

I wasn't looking at the thread label. It's supposed to only be on the Mercedes units but we see it on our Fords too depending on the paint shop. If you get it, it's a little bonus to the coach for right now.

I picked up my new 3011 in mid December, and it has the painted hood. I really like the way it looks.

Mine was built the end of December. Should be picking up in Ohio in 2 or so weeks. Would be great if my unit has the paint.

I just spoke to my dealer. My unit is in but unfortunately it's the solid white hood. Oh well still looks good!

Which Color combination did you order? I ordered clay. My cab is painted a light tan color with a light brown stripe on the hood. We had a hard time deciding on which color combination to go with.

I got the clay also. My cab is white though. No stripe. Was built in late December.
