| Description of the problem | I have an white 08 tundra cewmax limited. The paint is horrible. It seems like every little light touch of it brings it down to the grey undercoating. For instance, my key fob hit the gate when i was unlocking the tailgate and it chipped it right down to the grey undercoating. The truck is peppered with these probably from road debris. I could understand a little here or there but not this many and having it happen so easily most recently my clearcoat has started to fail and my truck is only 4 years old. It gets washed almost weekly and waxed every month with meguires nxt 2. 0. I know every little ding, scratch and dent on the truck and everytime i go to wash it, there are more. The paint/clearcoat is not very protective and has not held up. My other car is 12 years old and gets the same car care treatment as my tundra and its paint is 100% better than this truck. It is also a toyota and white. |
