Toyota has acknowledged paint problems in some models and has covered them under warranty in specific cases.

Factory Defects: Some Toyota models, including the Hilux, have been part of service campaigns for peeling paint.
Warranty Coverage:
Most Toyota vehicles have a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty for paint defects.
Extended warranties may cover paint in cases of premature failure.
Claiming a Repair:
Visit a Toyota dealership for an inspection.
If approved, Toyota may repaint affected areas at no cost.

However, damage due to external factors like weather and accidents is usually not covered.
