No big deal as soon as it warms a little I will put a spray in liner on it and I know you have to scuff the paint first before application. What I am getting at is, is the paint on the outter body just as thin as the bed? Anyone else had the problem on the 08?

There are a bunch of threads on this site regarding the thin paint issue. It appears that the Tundra does have some paint issues. However I have the same color truck you have and only have one scratch in it so far. I dropped the tailgate on my trailer jack to load something and it scratched it ever so slightly. I don't think the paint is any worse than any of the other brands out there right now.
