I'd have to disagree Mickey.. I've had numerous black trucks, and whilst I agree about the swirls, no truck I've had has had the amount of scratches and chips that the Tundra has had... I've had a Grand Jeep Cherokee and an BMW X5, both in black, the swirls showed, but there were zero scratches and chips.

On my Tundra, there's wear marks in the door where my wifes clothes or bag has rubbed against the edge, there's scratch marks in the tailgate where my keys knocked ONCE against the paint when locking the hard cover, a plastic garbage bin rolled against the body, lightly for about 2 inches... a huge scratch mark, there's scratches where people have walked inbetween the truck and another car in a car park. This is all within a month... I had the previous trucks for few years each, and NON had the marks on it the Tundra has - I sold the X5 a couple of months ago and after 3 years, it did not have 1 scratch, nor chip, but yes, light swirl marks.. even though I wipe with the 'flow' of the vehicle and don't swirl when putting on wax or clean...

To me the Tundra is a truck, it's meant to be harder and tougher than anything out there (other than diggers and dozers!), and it simply isn't the case..
