I bet they didn't remove the roof rack when they painted, or if they did, they cleared your roof rack as well.

I pulled mine off and rattle canned it black after sandblasting it and you can't even tell it's been repainted total cost was
$3.49 for the paint
$5.00 for sandbox sand
$25 bucks for a sears cheapy sandblaster barrel canister thing works for small stuff

The roof rack on my 96 4runner the paint is fine but the 2000 I have and the 2000 4runner that my parents have the paint is flaking off.

I wonder if it's just the paint that was used at the time of manfacturing.

The crossbars (right on top of the roof) are peeling - 2000 SR5

I was planning on painting then w/ duplicolor factory match rattle can sometime - but I am looking for some non-skid rubber strips w/ a 3m backing to stick on top of them to hold stuff more secure.
