According to the search results, Toyota paint is generally considered to be soft. Japanese manufacturers, including Toyota, are known for using soft paint on their vehicles, while manufacturers like Audi, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes typically have hard paint.
Please note that paint hardness can vary between different models and even within the same manufacturer, so it’s always a good idea to test the paint on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding with any polishing or detailing work.

Is Toyota paint thin?
Based upon prior experience, Toyota finishes are extremely thin and chip with great ease.
Is Toyota paint hard?
Usually it is moderate or soft BUT it could be also hard (depends of year, color, if it is re-sprayed or not etc…) After working on your car last weekend I can tell you your paint isn’t as soft as you would think for a Japanese car.
How can you tell if paint is hard or soft?
Hard paints tend to be more labour intensive to correct, but once corrected are fairly easy to refine. Soft paints on the other hand are easier to correct but can be tricky to refine. With some very soft paints, even a light wipe with a microfibre to remove polish residue can be enough to re-introduce fine scratches!
Can you paint over soft paint?
Also note that hard paints can’t be applied over soft paints. Soft paints can be applied over hard paints as long as they’re in good shape. Soft bottom paints are ablative, or “sloughing,” paints that wear away with use, exposing new biocide.
What cars have the softest paint?
German-made and luxury brands tend to be on the harder side. This could include brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. Japanese car brands like Mazda, Nissan, and Honda, on the other hand, tend to be softer. In the middle of the spectrum, Aston Martin, Ford, Jeep, and Jaguar tend to be intermediate.

In my experience, Toyota have soft paint, like all Japanesse manufacturers. Their paint is better quality than Honda, but it’s still soft compared to German paint. Good if you are not seeing any damage.
Does Toyota paint scratch easily?
Before I sold my truck, I had some paint touch ups and scratches repaired. The paint correction tech was great and he said that Toyota/Lexus paint is soft so it can damage easily but because of this, it is easy to repair.
Does Toyota have good paint quality?
Toyota paint is thin, especially on the new trucks. Color won’t change that much however Toyota has had some issues with white and pearl white, as do most brands. The whites often dont have a clear coat. Anyway, MGM is a nice color that looks good a long time and does not show dirt or scratches too bad.

Black
Black and red are—by far—the hardest colors to care for. They need to be cleaned, waxed, and buffed often due to how easily they show everything.
Does Toyota use soft paint?
