Sorry for the missing details. I’m looking for resolutions or outcomes from Toyota regarding the 2017 Taco Blue paint where the primer was not properly applied leaving me with a terrible looking truck now. My vehicle looks exactly like the pictures on the actual Toyota Service Bulletin with the bad paint. It’s been over 2 months since I had the estimate given from the shop my dealer directed me to go to for repainting. I have pretty much zero confidence Toyota will rectify this as they should even though they clearly are aware of the problem, hence the service bulletin. ---

From the notification: Customer Contacts Customers who receive the owner letter may contact your dealership with questions regarding the letter and/or the Customer Support Program. Please welcome them to your dealership and answer any questions that they may have. A Q&A is provided to assure a consistent message is communicated. Customers with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center (1-888-270-9371) - Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Saturday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Central Time. The way I interpret the bulletin is **if** the dealership determined your vehicle is covered then the bodyshop would be paid by Toyota. I suggest you call the above number. ---

Agreed, if you have been in contact with the dealer since you took them the estimate and called back once a week asking for updates (remember, you are not their only customer), then I would call Toyota Corp to get them involved… ---

Is the [car paint job](https://infomeabout.com/car-paint-job/) damaged or what is wrong? ---
