Buyer Beware: Huge paint defect on brand new Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

naossoan · 07-29-2007, 07:34 AM

One thing I noticed on my yaris is along the sides of the car under the door that ~4 inches of metal the paint is...weird looking. Like, the rest of the paint is smooth, but that part LOOKS bumpy, but it's not when I run my hand along it. At least not that I remember.

I asked a couple of my car friends and they said that's normal because it's got some different paint that helps to prevent corrosion and stuff. So I don't worry about it. Other than that I don't *think* I have any pain chips, but I don't really inspect my car every day lol. I just get in and get out.
