Its going to be water based and therefore it'll chip easily. Doesn't matter if you buy a actual Toyota, a GM truck, a BMW, etc. Water based paints are much thinner and less durable and as a result they all chip easily. The only advantage of using water based paints is they're more environmentally friendly. The only reason people complain about Subaru paint for so long is simple, Subaru has been using water based paints for a very long time. Everybody else switched sometime in the mid 2000s.
