Velocity Blue Orders Scheduled

[Jerseysteve68]

I wanted to see how many people that chose Velocity Blue got scheduled in the final round of scheduling in August. I was, and I'm wondering if it's because that color won't be available for 2023 and Ford is trying to knock those out.

If I had to guess, I'd say that they're discontinuing Velocity Blue due to some kind of pigment shortage.

It's the only difference I've seen between my build and ones from December/January that got scheduled.

Hadn't considered a pigment shortage. I work for an OEM and we had an issue with the gray we use.
So, you didn't get scheduled? If not, that answers my question right out of the gate.

Velocity Blue XL scheduled week of August 29th.

Bumped to Build week of September 12.

Was told by CS rep that delivery to dealership by September 20...which sounds amazingly optimistic.

Same order date but I don't have 360 on mine. Still unscheduled. Was going to be OK with not getting Velocity Blue because I thought I could shift to Eruption Green. No joy on that front.

Link may not work but the gist is there is a major shortage of paint pigments.
