2026 Tundras...

I very much wanted WCP over white. Heck, of my acceptable colors the only one I preferred ice cap over was supersonic red. I had to settle on the color due to the options I did and did not want being a hard combination to find on short notice.

My issue with Ice Cap was the failing Super White II (040) on my 2nd gen Tacoma. That paint has a long history of chipping/flaking issues across multiple models. Ice Cap has the same paint code, so I assume it's just a marketing rename of the same paint. At least WCP has a base and clear.

 

Same paint code but I’m fairly certain I remember reading they do something different now - I just can’t remember what. I’m sure someone here will know.

 

$60K truck...can't take the chance, haha.

 

they most likely renamed it to try and hide from the notorious "super white" that is known to be horrible.

 

Should call it Mega Dandruff.

That is what it turns into

 

WCP is a 3 layer paint. Most, if not all, pearl paints are.

According to a google search Ice Cap is normal paint with a base and a clear coat. I know a guy who worked (retired) as a painter in Toyota's Indiana plant, and he said none of their paints were single stage, even back in the gen 1 days.

 

I've heard so many conflicting reports about the gloss white and gloss black paints, whether they were single stage or not. When I polished my Super White II Tacoma...I would get residue on the pads which led me to believe it was single stage. Whatever it was, it was not a great quality paint or paint job. Mine started flaking around the windows and worse, on the tops of the fenders where the seam was covered by the hood.
