Some Lexus GX470 owners report experiencing paint peeling issues, particularly in vehicles from 2008 to 2009 with the Blizzard Pearl color. This peeling typically occurs on various metal body panels, such as the door, rear panel, and roof, and happens between the primer and E-coat layer, exposing the underlying E-coat. To resolve this issue, affected panels require proper preparation and repainting. Owners facing this problem are advised to visit their local Lexus dealership, as Toyota/Lexus may cover repairs for vehicles within a specific cutoff year. Additionally, some owners note that using vinyl wraps as a temporary solution can lead to complications, as removing the wrap may damage the Blizzard Pearl paint underneath, necessitating priming before applying new vinyl.
