    Earlier today I parked just a hair to close to a barrier and my door dinged the inside edge. I think I need to put something on it to seal it. Whats the best touch up seal scratch paint?

    The dealer has little bottles of "ding" paint that matches.

    This. It is OEM paint so there is no guess about whether the match will be exact. I think I paid about $15 for a bottle from my dealer.

    I got some of that stuff off Amazon that matches the paint code exactly. I have a paint pen of it, and worked great for repairing some rock chips in the rocker and mirror.

    The best touch up paint? The one that matches your trucks color lol..as others have suggested, it’s not a shoppable item. OEM is the way to go from dealer unless you know someone if the automotive body shop business that can mix you some but even that would cost more because there is a minimum volume required for them to do so, I think a pint or something...

    You can get the toyota oem touch up paint on Amazon. Aftermarket I'd go with Dr Colorchip

    Dr. Colorchip makes a really good repair kit but it's pretty pricey compared to OEM. I have used Toyotas brand of touch-up on Super White and MGM with good results. Some colors like Pearl White can be very hard to match because they are a two part touch up, it takes alot of patience to get it right.
