New Tacoma Problem - Paint Swirl Marks From Shipping Wrap

[G4Rico]

I love my new Tacoma, however there is one problem I have that many others have had. The Underground flat color has a lot of swirl marks on the paint from how Toyota wraps the cars for delivery. I will need to get a paint correction and ceramic coating which just is a bummer for a new vehicle needing a paint correction.

Dude! Same problem as TRD Jon. It looks more like swirls from bad car washes.

I wonder if it could have happened when the truck was being prepped at the dealer? I used to work with lots of new cars, and the plastic didn't ever leave a mark like that.

Did you try and ask the dealership?

Dealer told me it’s because of the type of flat paint it is added with how Toyota wraps it for delivery. They have had the same issue on the new Camry that has the same paint is what I was told. They offered to look at but are 1.5 hours away.

Super annoying. They should credit you. Or pay for a paint correction!

I'm going to call my dealer to see if I can get reimburse for my paint correction that I did to my truck. It was bad.

Mine is also like that! And it sucks.
