We can all agree that the main purpose of priming and painting metal panels is to protect the metal from rusting.

Toyota has managed to use very little paint in their MFR. process.

It is sprayed very light and thin as of late. Toyota wants efficient use of material for profit margin reasons. Paint and clearcoat is expensive.

Thin coats of paint just chip away over time. It can start within the first mile driven out of the showroom! What highways or roads will not have debris of any kind? None. And Toyota will say it is road damage

Toyota will not address this. They have carefully done their homework on this subject.

Bottom line. Toyota Paint is terrible as of late. Lexus is not far behind.
