Underground paint chipping

[a few waffles]

Anyone else having issues with paint chipping? I have 4 spots, all on the hood of my underground Pro, where it's chipped. Haven't been off-road at all yet. Not sure if it's a paint issue or I've maybe been incredibly unlucky with debris, etc. on the roadway. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Yes, I found 2 chips in a spot that doesn't seem like it could have been hit by road debris. Also found 1 possibly 2 bad spots in the clear coat on the hood.

It will be interesting to hear the dealers response if your bring it in for repair under warranty.

Did you check the whole vehicle at time of purchase or soon after?

Yes. These are definitely new(ish) since I picked it up at the end of April. I'll give the dealer a call tomorrow, but I'm not overly optimistic.

Any pics to share?

Not yet. I can't get to the dealer until late next month, so I put a touch of color-matched paint on the spots for now.

Issues with underground paint have been pretty commonly reported by 5G and Tacoma owners. By far the coolest looking color but seems to chip and scratch up easily. Hopefully the dealer does right by you.

Yup brittle paint.
