Pissed at my paint

I have a 17 Tacoma and do wax it about every 4 months. My roof is looking terrible already . I can’t believe in only 5 years and it’s done. I had a 12 year old Frontier before and paint was still fine. Anyone got Toyota to cover it after 3-36?

 

Got any photos?

 

Damn.

what color? And ^ pics?


I guess 2017 ~ 3 years, you’re not the original owner?

 

Toyota has had paint issues with White and MGM.

Here is a thread on the problems with White.

Which Toyota paint has the least amount of issues?

 

Hard to tell. On TW complaints out weigh praise on most threads.

 

Solar Octane... by virtue of being brand new and limited quantity.

 

great first post, thanks for stopping by!

 

Here are pics of it.

 

I’m sorry. That’s clear coat failure. It will peel in a year or two.

 

Dang man you must get lots of sun even your roof rack looks 10 years faded

 

Well, make sure to wash it off when you're done. Seriously though call corporate and ask. They worst they can say is no. Otherwise, just get it resprayed. Waterbased paint doesn't have the longevity of older lacquer paints.

 

It's a 6 year old truck, corporate will not step in...

 

Wait for a cloudy dark day and take it to Toyota. Get a trade in appraisal and trade it in the same evening.

 

well, life goes on...

 

Quickest fix would be to wrap the roof .sucks Toyota still can’t get the paint right .

 

Dang sorry Op

 

Yes plenty of Sun. Live in socal

 

I see one driving around socal with the same color you have that has the clear fading on the roof but his is 10xs worse. It looks like the monster energy drink claws on top of the roof with chipping clear coat.

 

Do a 6" lift on 35s so it'll be too high to notice.
