    I've seen other vehicles with paint that looks similar in areas. My guess is there was some sort of oily contamination on the surface before the vehicle was sprayed.

    What color is that? You have a 2022 electric lime sport?! I thought ELM was a 23 color for the sport/off roads.

    I see you’re in WA…which dealer did you buy from? Some are really good about taking care of this stuff. Toyota of Marysville offered to repaint my hood no questions asked for some moisture under the clear

    Take it to the dealer paint is covered under the 3/36 warranty. What year is your truck? ELM was only offered on the Pro in 2022 someone correct if I’m wrong.

    Apologies for the typos! 22 sport Army Green. The photos are shot with a white card reflector plus I have edited the image a bit to bring out the crazing so it looks similar to what is acutely there. I’m going to bring this up to the dealer. Hartland
