How is your Toyota original paint?

‘06 metallic gray mica. Roof clear is super flaky, hood scoop & fender flares have faded over the years. Overall not too bad, especially since I never see the roof.

My '05 Dorado Gold is fading quite a bit on the roof and fender flares

other than a small half dime sized rust spot under my drivers side mirror and a finger nail spot on the drivers side passenger door she seems perfect.

I think the Tacomas are worse off, I see a ton of them with trashed paint.
Maybe because the 4runner is painted in Japan?
My 07 Silver is holding up besides the mirrors which I repainted. The hood is starting to look a little hazy but might be buildup from spray detail. The plastic piece on the tailgate needs a repaint.
Fingers crossed it holds up as it's my DD and I can't really drive a ghetto car to work.

My 2014 Nautical Blue roof's clear coat is flaking.. Guess the rumor of bad blue paint could still be a thing

My 2014 Nautical Blue has the clear on the roof flaking like crazy. Just started on the hood a few weeks ago. The horizontal portion of the doors by the windows is starting to flake too. Pretty disappointing for a 9 year old vehicle.

2004 looks ok except for the rust holes

My 2003 dorado gold looks almost like new. I live in the tropics, plenty of sun.

2003 Galactic Grey. Mine looks pretty good. Couple of rust spots, some fading paint, and lots of sun damage.

We have three 4Runners. None has ever spent a night in a garage.

2003 V8: silver OE paint is quite tatty, especially on plastic parts -- borderline embarrassing

2009 V6: silver OE paint is mint

2017: grey OE paint is mint

I've had several new cars and SUVs in my life, but never had a truck like my 2005 4runner.

The paint on the body looks factory new after 15 years of driving in the hot, hot, hot Bahamian sun.

The brand new 1996 GMC JIMMY I bought off a dealer's lot in Stuart Florida rusted away so bad I sold her for $800, to get it out of my sight.

Tell us what year Toyota when you post.

How does Toyota do it? eep:
