    Yup, white stripes, metalic silver does the same thing very quickly & not durable as other options...
    could be stripes, or something similar to waves washing up the the beach shoreline like in the pic I posted.
    Toyota paint is shit, very thin, requires lots of periodic maintenance to help avoid / prevent mostly sun damage like this....

    Sad but toyota isnt going to help here, & may be no different on the 24-25's in regards to paint longevity...

    I'm hoping enough people with silver and dark metallic will see this and call Toyota customer service and complain. If they get enough complaints maybe they'll recall these colors as well. Can't hurt to try.

    will take years....
    My chick has a white 2010 Lexus RX350, paint is literally falling off around all the windows frames...
    Took it to the highest level I could with various documents about how toyota acknowledges the issue & is stepping-up & taking care of the whites...
    Lexus repeatedly told me to pound sand....

    On that note,
    You guys cant even take you vehicles in when theyre messed up...
    Getting you guys to actually put in the work, officially get something documented, & file an official complaint to make an actual difference................o_O
    goodluck.....:frusty:
