Default Paint warranty from Toyota?

I have a 2000 Ext. 4x4 TRD Off-Road Edition Tundra in black and I have had the car for 3 years now and I look into the paint in the sun and it is nothing but swirls in the paint. It looks horrible. I know the paint on Toyota is thin compared to other vehicles. Does Toyota offer a warranty on the paint? I have a 100k miles warranty on the truck. It is chipped in other areas as well. I also own a Dodge Durango in black a 99 and doesnt show anything like the Tundra does. If there is a way to get Toyota to repaint the truck please let me know.

Thanks,
Michael

Your out of luck on the swirls, that's a problem you've created yourself. However, Toyota's paint is warrantied for life, the chips may be covered under the warranty causing them to repaint the panels that have the chips. As far as the swirls are concerned, find a true professional detailer in your area and have them polish out the swirls. Any true professional detailer will be able to do it, not one of those 5$ car wash jobs. The swirls are actually in the clear coat caused from the abrasion of towels / gas-station car washes, etc. Get it completely detailed atleast once (could cost you upwards of 150-200$ to get all the swirls out) and quit taking your truck to those type of car wash places, it ruins your paint!
