    Has anyone else noticed overspray on their 3rd gen? Only had it 2 weeks gave her a first bath and noticed some small black overspray on the driver side and some yellow on the front fender bottom corner on the driver side. Its nearly impossible to see from 5ft away but now that i know it's driving me insane.

    More likely to be road paint and tar. They don't make a factory yellow tacoma. Try using wd40 to remove some of it.

    Yes, and they didn't paint anything with the fender trim on the truck.

    I had lots of overspray.. Especially from whoever did the undercoat at the paint. The initial detailer cussed a storm when he had to fix all of that.

    You sure that's not just tar? If you had over spray. There would be a lot more. When I worked at the dealership as a Porter. Vehicles that sat close to the road would get covered in tar from passing vehicles.

    My 15s paint was almost as rough as sandpaper when I first got it, had to use the Clay Bar to smooth it.

    Iron-x foam bath, clay bar, Polish, then ceramic coating is the way to fix that!

    The Clay Bar, Polish, and Wax removed that factory overspray and made it smooth as glass.
