Yellow Blaze owners- unfinished door jams etc?
Does your Yellow Blaze have unfinished door jams, trunk lid and engine compartment? I mean by unfinished, my jams, trunk lid and engine compartment are non metallic mustard colored, are yours?.
At first it didn't bother me but it's becoming a sore point giving what this car stickered for a the paint was an extra $495.00. It noticeable enough that several people have noticed.
I feel like bringing it back to the dealer and making them paint it or cover the cost at a body shop.

Pretty sure mine is completely covered but now I'll have to inspect it closer...

Well, I wish you hadn't called my attention to this.
The door jams and underhood and trunk do not have the metallic or pearl top coats.
I wouldn't call it unfinished though, I'm sure Ford decided to only do the full tri-coat process on the outside. Probably didn't do the whole car because these special top coats are more prone to runs, hard to get to areas like the jambs and underhood would end up with lots of runs.
And I bet the Boss cars really are the same.

I've noticed that on my 2011 (Race Red), the rear trunks inside lip area is dull; best described as not having any clear coat.
The door jambs and inner hood are fine. Just the inside of the trunk area.

That's a normal, they only apply all 3 coats where it's visible from the outside. I have seen several YB cars (I think one of them a Fiesta or a Focus) that had the same application.
Other than the visual annoyance, this is not a problem.

For at least a decade it's been typical for Ford to paint the areas under the hood with just the base color and no clearcoat. The only exception were special edition vehicles that have these areas clearcoated, like the Mach1, Boss, etc.
