    The white paint is absolutely garbage. Luckily I don’t have the flaking issues but damn I feel like it chips even if a bug hits it

    2017 white paint is stronger than the windshield.

    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    So has anyone DIYed their own paint repair on their truck? What type of paint and primer did you use and how were the results? I’m not taking it to a paint shop to pay $$$$ for this, it’s a truck.
