    We all know of the issues I'm sure on the Super White at this point...

    My question is if the dealership won't fix it, what solutions have you guys came up with to this point?

    Touch up? What color code?
    Vinyl over it?
    Any armor pieces that could cover it?

    All mine is basically around back windows, sides and bottom at this point, and I don't want it to keep spreading...

    Thanks for the link, thats a ton to get through

    No one has created vinyl pieces in black to match around the windows? Thinking that might be a solution

    Any vinyl wrap place can do that for you. Most have plotters to cut. I would do the whole roof, A, B, & C pillars. Bottom of windows & up. I like that look on white trucks.

    OP, let us know if the paint is failing on metal, bumper, flares etc. My bought a new front bumper for my Daughter's Super White Scion and am finding the plastic bumper needs a fair amount of body shop prep to paint it right.

    My Daughter's paint is not failing, but she hit some debris on the freeway during a windstorm and now dad has to get the new bumper painted.

    I'm not op, but from all pictures a comments I have seen. The paint failure is on metal. It's rear doors, up by windows, and front fenders, by hood. Start at inner lip of fender. Some have had it on other areas, but majority is those two areas.

    About the same as a normal good paint job. Because it requires similar prep.

    But not a paint job to fix these white problems. Since the primer is the issue, they have to be stripped to bare metal. RAVs bill out at ~$8,500 under Toyota warranty, as an example
