I'm picking up my 07' White Tundra from the body shop today (because some imbecilic little man hit my bumper and bed area) and get this...
The painter tells me that my truck has no clear coat, just straight white paint! WTF? He said as he was working on it and sanding he immediately got white dust indicating no clear on the vehicle. (this guy has been in the business for ages) He said i'll have to take extra care of it and wax it all the time, but it will scratch and fade faster than paint with clear coat. Again WTF? This isn't a 1974 Datsun hatchback, don't all modern vehicles, especially one as pricey as a Tundra have clear coats on the paint?
Can this be true? Is my painter off his rocker? Too much paint fumes? Is Toyota being that cheap? Anybody with paint and bodywork experience familiar with this, please put your thoughts in...
