    I have a 2011 Tacoma t base, I am using it simply as a work truck but it has 3 small spots on the hood that would cost a lot to repaint and thinking a rally stripe off centre along the passenger headrest would hide this. The truck is magnetic grey. Does anyone have any stripes on a magnetic grey they would share pictures?

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    If you're thinking of a vinyl stripe to cover and hide the blemishes, just keep in mind the blemishes will still show through. It's like a woman with a lot of pimples covering everything with heavy makeup. You can still see the pimples. They're just makeup colored now.

    Good point. These are pretty minor in depth just unsightly. I think 3M will keep it looking ok

    1 small dimple and two spots where either chemical or something messed the Clearcoat and discolored the paint, lightening it. About the size of dimes to a penny
