This was talked about some time ago. Some say that ALL the paint on today's automobiles is inferior to what it used to be. I for one feel the paint on the Tundra is really bad. It scratches very easily and tree and/or bird droppings eat right through the clear coat. Is it just Toyota's paint and not others . . . I don't know, but I do know the paint on my wife's Lexus seems to be better than the paint on my Tundra.
Maybe it has something to do with U.S. -vs- Japan paint. On my old '87 Toyota truck, the bed was added after the truck was shipped over from Japan. The paint on the cab of the truck held up really well, while the paint on the bed, (Which was made and painted in the U.S.!), didn't hold up well at all.
