2010 Toyota Tundra. Single stage white...

[Sizzle Chest]

Had my work cut out for me today...this is one big mother! 4 door long bed! A lot of real estate to cover. Single stage white paint was dull, lifeless and chalky.

Plan of attack: wash, clay with nano, Flex 3401 w/a BAP (big ass pad) I used a 7" hex logic pad, I usually only use 5.5" pads, but there was a ton of paint to cover...Megs D151, topped with Megs 'new' paint protect, Blackfire tire gel, Griot's HD wheel cleaner, Adam's glass cleaner, DP total interior cleaner. I think that's it...

Truck has really never been touched in it's lifetime. A few scratch and swirl washes, I think that's about it.

Paint is just dead looking.

Megs paint protect was easy to use...went on/off easily and a little went a LONG way. Will have to see how the durability is.




Thanks for looking!

Nice job.

[rfoster]

Nice! That is a lot of paint to cover.... Interested to see how the paint protect holds up too.

[Sicoupe]

Fantastic job my friend:)

[FrankS]

Nice work on the truck, looks like new!

[DaveT435]

Truck looks great.
Not sure if you'll know the answer to this, but isn't all pure white Toyota paint up until 2012 single stage?

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Nice transformation! That sure is a lot of real estate to cover.

BAP Lol.

I did t realize there was still single stage paints being used... I though that stopped in the middle d 80's?

Thought all cars now a days were 2 stage...

No...the Toyota Red is single stage...not sure when that stopped. I think they call the Toyota white Arctic White.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but in my searches I found a lot of references to Toyota single stage paint up until 2012 I believe. My mother's white 08 Camry needs a little work so I'm going to test it.

The color pictured is Super White paint code 040. It is still used today on 2015 Tacoma's and base model Tundras.

Thank you.

[Detail-Impressions]

Super White paint code 040 Camry's too

Thanks, I detailed my mother's Camry a couple years ago. I was positive it was single stage. She had some collision damage repaired and I had one body shop tell me the code showed it was three stage paint. I knew that was bs. It's a pure white not Pearl. Then the second body shop told me it was base/clear. Padding the bill I suspect.

1K paint is still the best & strongest, the end result is so blanched & milky.

[CaveRacing]

Awesome results! I love the before/after pic with the reflection of the fluorescent strip light. Zero reflection on the "before" side. Wow.
