I have 20k on my blackcherry:
I have a about 100+ chips, I took mine to the dealer here in Utah, they will re-piant it, BUT the are sayign that doesn't solve the issue.
I found a matched paint rock guard on my 72 FJ-40, that 3M makes. I am going to have it placed on the window bars, and front panels, perhaps the rear tire panel as well, Cost: about 200.00 USD
I love it on my older FJ, I hope it solves my issues on my new one....
Now for some new Windshield Ideas.... Hmmmmmm, bug guards are crap, Any ideas?

Clarifacation: The dealer will touch-up/paint sections, the chips, since most are on the windshield supports, and the hood. I have a few on the tire-well flares.
3m kit, I'll grab the info from driftwood, and lionk it

In the past five years manufactures have been told to faze out the use of lead in there clear coats. This makes the clear coat considerably weak so manufactures are putting the paint on a little thicker. This makes it better for abrasion but when it chips it chips big.

Hey Guys!
Toyota knows they have a problem with the paint, it's defective. My cruiser has 3,000 miles on it and is all chipped up, hood, side posts, even the sides of the vehicle. The white undercoat over my burgundy makes it look awful. My windshield is full of pits and its only time til I need a new one. Take a good look at your windshield. Take a ball point pen and poke and every speck of dirt and you'll be surprised to find your windshield is all pitted too. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO! When enough people complain, they will list the problem as a defect and it will be covered. YOU CAN CALL AND VOICE YOUR COMPLAINT AT 1-800-331-4331. Demand to speak to your regional representative the next time they visit the dealer. If we all complain, they will make it right. Also, the plastic compound is too soft inside. Most fjers own dogs...where the hell do you put them? Let them scratch the s**t out of the inside? Stupid! Call, each and every one of you, and stand up for yourself. You paid good money for this car, don't let them get away with it.
