I have noticed the paint has started chipping off the tray of my 2021 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series. I can see that this is due to no undercoat. What should I do?

I have a 2021 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series. I have noticed the paint has started chipping off on my tray. I can see that this is due to no undercoat. What should I do?

It’s probably a bit hard to be certain just from looking that there’s a fault of that nature with the paint. Sometimes the individual coatings that form what we call paint are hard to see as those individual layers aren’t always obvious and are chemically bonded to each other. But I would say that a paint specialist (such as a panel shop) should be able to judge whether there’s something awry.

If the actual paint is at fault, then the problem becomes a warranty issue with either Toyota (if it’s a genuine tray) or the manufacturer that supplied the tray. That is, of course, if the paint hasn’t been chipped by actually using the vehicle as intended, at which point it would probably be deemed normal wear and tear.
