    Howdy Tundra Peeps,

    This is my first Tundra Forum. I have a 2012 Toyota Tundra Dbl Cab 4x2 V8. This is not my first Toyota. I have had 2 Tacomas, 4 Runner & also own a Highlander. I am Toyota Loyal. This is my first Tundra purchased resale from AZ, but now residing in ATX to pull my Airstream.

    I do have a question. I have never had any paint issues on any of my Toyotas (until now) and I take care of my vehicles, but all of a sudden the clearcoat started peeling all over my Tundra and she looks like a flaky monster. Took her to a paint shop and they said it was defective clearcoat but "good luck getting Tundra to do anything about it." Anyone have any tips? I just can't stand how bad she looks and it seems like daily it gets worse.

    Thanks.
    TEX in ATX

    Howdy and Welcome :thumbsup:

    :worthless:

    I don't really have an answer for you but I could've sworn I've seen posts about white Tundra's having paint defects more then other colors :confused: Not sure if that's your case.

    Post some pictures of your truck and I'm sure people will chime in. Also you can probably find some info in the detailing section.
