Defective silver paint

[Mad Hatter]

Toyota claims that the paint mottle on my 2024 silver Tacoma, which was manufactured at the Baja plant in 12/24, is characteristic of the paint, which is total BS. And this determination was made without an in-person inspection. Any suggestions on how to redress the issue with the judge, jury, and executioner (i.e. Toyota)? I’d like a third party to exam the paint, as Toyota doing it themselves appears to be a conflict of interest.

Same color, and same issue! Dealer couldn't care less. I am going to open a case with Toyota corporate. Perhaps I may even go to a local detailer and get them to document the Mottling in writing so I can submit that.

Please keep us updated on your progress and what you do.

I don't see it on mine, but have seen a ton of these threads, specifically calling out the silver. I think my silver looks great, but I guess maybe I'll try and take some pics in the sunlight tomorrow..?

Without sunlight and at that distance and angle, it is difficult to determine if your truck has the same paint issue, as my truck looks similar in that lighting. As long as it wasn’t manufactured at the Baja plant, you probably aren’t affected. Your truck looks good, and I hope you find it to be free of paint mottle.
