    the rockers and lower doors have orange peel and the stick on anti scratch as well. That's zoomed in a little close to tell but looks like normal to me. Most cars I've owned have the same thing, it's a high traffic area for getting hit with road debris.

    Until your secondary air pump fails to the tune of $1400 in repair costs...yes even the 2nd gens had issues.

    I think that's normal. Mine has it as well and it seems to be a more durable finish to help with rocks from the tires and other bits of road debris.

    there is supposed to be orange peel in the lower sections of paint( not the clear bra stuff) for extra rock protection. Although that looks thicker than usual..it's normal

    I have never seen that on another vehicle to such a degree. I've owned a dozen vehicles and driven many different trucks for work. It's a quality issue, not design.

    EDIT: The internet tells me it's actually common to some brands including Toyota. Not enough time around them I guess. I've been educated. Spend a lot of time driving classic cars and talking with other classic car owners at shows. If they had a car painted, cheap places leave that finish and you take it back and make them fix it.

    minium sir
    I just got it fixed yesterday. Because scheduling a time for them to fix it and a time I could bring it takes time. The dealership is a long ways from me and I work 7 days a week (God forgive me).
    This thread was not made to complain as much as to see if any others here have had the same problem also to show that a good dealership will take care of you.
    I did not take pics because I felt it was not necessary. Showed it to the dealer was enough I thought.
    I will make a mental note to take pics in the future.
