    Hey all, seeking recommendations for a reputable paint shop in the Richmond or broader central VA area. My 2014 Super White is headed towards peeling into oblivion and I either need to find a place that can fix it for a reasonable price, or I’ll sell it.

    I got one quote from an independent shop, $4k for the roof, drivers side doors, and fenders. Which I thought was high. Lmk if I’m wrong. Thanks!

    P.S. I’ve already tried to get Toyota to fix it like they’re fixing the 3rd gen’s Super White peeling issues. No dice.

    4k for a full job is a good price anywhere these days, if it's a good job. Are they removing the handles/badges/trim/etc or just masking? What kind of warranty do they offer?

    I’ll have to double check about the warranty but they’d be pulling everything apart as far as I understand.

    To clarify, that $4k quote is not the whole truck. That’s the fenders, 2 doors, and the roof panel between the crossbars.

    How bad is your truck? For $4k I’d have to see pictures of their work first. I’m a Richmond dude, what’s the name of the shop?
