    Hello
    Just checking to see how many 2019 Toyota Tacoma have this paint problem. I have the super white paint. I can see tiny specs in the paint if you look real good. I think it just dirt that was in the paint when it was sprayed at the factory. 5 bigger ones that stand out. It looks like little bubbles. The truck was made Tijuana Baja Mexico. Do you guys have the same problems? Will this be a problem down the road with the paint? It's on every panel on the truck. Thanks for any information.

    Take it to the dealer. They're the ones to fix it.

    It’s probably rail dust from your environment....get a clay bar. White is single stage paint as far as I know

    As @Ronzio pointed out, willing to bet its embedded contaminates in the paint/clearcoat (SW is a single stage paint so the clear is mixed in), some iron x and a clay bar will pull those out for ya.

    Thanks for the information. Yes it's embedded/ mixed with the paint. I tried meguiars x scratch remover and still there. I actually see little chunks underneath the paint that was painted over.
    Will try iron x next
    Thanks

    Iron X and a Clay bar, hope that works for ya. I've had 2 super white tacomas, they are great just need to be loved a little more since they are single stage.

    Yeah I went to the dealers in the area to make sure it just wasn't my truck after I bought it and it's on every white one that I looked at. Very unhappy with the quality of the paint.

    Question should I just live with it or get rid of it? It should be OK down the road as long as it's covered with paint. I don't want it repaired/ repainted Majorly bummed out.

    It should be okay, but I'd be concerned with what's under there and what it may do down the road when your truck is out of warranty.

    Getting rid of a truck because of a couple tiny paint imperfections. Solid choice right there.

    Have it fixed under warranty. White is the easiest color to work and blend, since there is no metallic/pearl in it.

    Next purchase you make, do a full pre purchase inspection.
