How to Fix the Substandard Toyota Paint on My 5th Gen 4 Runner

After all my paint gets chipped and scratched off I'm going to this guy and have him do this. Note he is using "House of Kolor" paint. That's the good stuff.

Absolutely beautiful, but like most art, not for everyone. One has to marvel at the effort that goes into one of those paint jobs though.

It looks like he started by painting over another incredible paint job. I wonder what something like that costs?

I can't seem to track down Pablo the owner of Kandy n’ Chrome to find out what something like this would cost.

I've seen a lot of hate for the Toyota paint. Generally Japanese paint (I've heard) is weaker/thinner/less substantial because of environmental regs that haven't been adopted here for domestic vehicles. I just want to let you all know in case you don't have a good frame of reference that nothing, and I mean nothing, is shittier than the paint I had on my 2011 Infiniti G37. Hot damn was that Nissan paint trash. Great car, good performance, but the CVT and the paint was TERRIBLE. Both that car and my 2021 T4R are black in color so I know how much of a nuisance that color can be. The Toyota paint is nowhere near as bad as the Nissan.
