Paint peeling

Ok, so I'm aware of the issues with mostly , I think, corollas with the peeling paint. I've also seen that this issue has affected some other models 120 Prado grande was one I've seen mentioned... Also happens to be the model
Prado I have and I also have a paint peeling issue.

Has anyone else had this and did Toyota come to the party for you? If they did, how did you go about getting them to fix it? If not, what have you done to fix it?

I'm thinking it'll have to be a full respray but I have zero idea of the cost involved

If it helps anyone, it's a 2008 kdj120 grande and has the pearlescent white paint (don't know the code and the Prado is not home to go check) unfortunately I can't find the photos I took of the peeling paint either ♂️ but to explain locations
*Under both rear 1/4 windows - just along the top lip near the glass
*Same area but on the rear tailgate
*8mm ish spot above drivers door handle
*Bonnet on the drivers side "upright" bit between the head light and grille - that patch is about half the size of my palm

I'll try and get paint code and pictures when I'm both awake and near the Prado.

Cheers

There's a FB page dedicated to Toyota's paint peeling issue on the white paint where all you see is the primer left. Are you aware of that FB page?

yep joined. Mine is definitely not as bad as some of the ones there. But I'd prefer to nip it in the bud if that's possible

Hey Solitude,

I had peeling duco on my 95 series that may have had a respray prior to my ownership. It began on the roof and bonnet.

I had my roof resprayed but didn’t worry about the bonnet. I thought that because the bonnet was still painted the only problem was it didn’t look great.

When I finally got around to having the bonnet painted the job was far harder because water had absorbed through the paint (no duco) and rusted underneath the paint.

Is your paint peeling or is it your duco?

Over time most of the duco lifted so I did all panels. I hope this is of some help.

It's paint. Can see the primer underneath.

Its a known issue that affected a few models from early 2000's (not sure of the end date of affected vehicles) but mostly corollas and I think 99.9% were white
