    this makes me nervous, dealer damaged my truck just behind the driver's side rear wheel, backed into a post... they are repairing it next week, at a good body shop, but how much of the box will end up painted... pretty pissed off about the whole thing! My truck was unblemished before this.

    For a brand new vehicle I would push for a replacement, or at least some type of a trade in assistance. If you have it resprayed it will definitely diminish it's resale value, IMO.

    Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I just got a 2018 TRD OR and I have this issue. My truck is MGM the fenders/bedside/doors on both sides are blotchy. Took it to the dealer they offered to respray it. I made them document it incase something down the road happens to the clear ect. I have seen several others on the road and I can see its 100% a trend with the 3rd Gen MGM. My 2nd gen was perfect. My dad has a 5th gen 4runner same color his paint looks like glass and minimal orange peel.

    Same - just had them document it, even though they offered to respray it; I declined because I still wanted the 'factory' paint.

    It's weird looking at others and realizing they have it also, just wonder if the drivers notice lol

    Been a couple years since anyone has posted on this thread but I'm having issues with my 2nd generation MGM paint. The entire hood and roof is peeling, and I just noticed it starting under my windows.... suuuper bummed. Debating on just switching out my hood and dealing with the rest or spending $4K to repaint.

    Super lame... mine has it too... figured it wasn't worth my time so I just had them note it down. Seems like most MGM Tacoma's I see on the road have the issue... no issues with other vehicles in MGM though
