Is Ford developing magnetic paint for the F-150 [Autoblog]

[Knickell]

Autoblog recently posted some spy photos of a gen fourteen F-150 with what appear temporary magnets on the sides doors. Given that the generation fourteen F-150 has a mostly aluminum body, it doesn’t seem like the traditional magnets would stick to the truck. The article theorizes that Ford is developing magnetic paint to address this issue.

I hope this article is wrong, because I would be hesitant about applying paint with ferrous material mixed in over aluminum due to corrosion concerns. Galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals is usually prevented by coatings, primer, and paint, I wouldn't want to mix in the dissimilar metals with my paint.
