    It's the clear coat failing. Same thing happening to my 2013. Once it starts you can't stop it. Happened first to my roof and now it's happening to my hood.

    And before the soap box bro's come out, I washed and waxed my truck religiously.

    This is my hood. Is this the same as you guys? But how come it looks like its underneath the clear coat ? Nothing is peeling and its still smooth.

    Only thing bad about Toyotas is the paint. Just got a 2023 trd pro in Ice cap. The back door jam honestly looks not the best was a bit shocked when I saw it like that from the factory.

    Thanks for the help, i kinda figured it was a lost cause. I have a Red 2007 with 185.000 and my paint has held up great.
