Nope, I'm the original owner. Never gave the hardtop any careful look over other than removing every spring and storing it until winter. I think it's just a bad paint job from the factory.
Since I painted it black, looks brand spankin new
so it's all good.

Jeep Fenders should be one color: Flat Black!
The guy is whining about his pretty flares on every board. Here's the solution: Get a scotch brite pad and make them "trail rated". You won't complain about the mfg mold marks anymore.

Some of you guys are kind of rough. If the defects were apparent on the lot, then that I guess is buyer beware for not catching it. If they appeared afterward, then shame on Chrysler for offering painted fenders and not standing behind their work.
I live on dirt roads, so the whole front of my rear fenders are chewed up by the front BFG mudders throwing rocks into them. Painted would not have worked for me anyway.
However, for some it does and I don't agree with the "lol painted fenders on a Wrangler" mentality.
I thought some Wrangler models from way back offered painted fenders.

Ironically, I've been driving a work van with Ford/Microsoft Sync. I want to ditch the MyGig and get a simple radio with bluetooth audio. The entertainment and the NAV are better from the phone.

I live in the UK and noticed after waxing my black JK that the paint on the fenders was chipping off. Chrysler UK didn't want to know.
The Jeep was booked in for the door hinges to be resprayed so got the fenders repainted for less than $100.
