Paint chip?

So I’ve just purchased a new Tacoma about a week ago, and I’ve been obsessed with trying to keep the exterior clean and wiping down all bird poo and everything. I was checking out my truck when I got home and I noticed this chip on my hood that I hadn’t seen, I tried wiping it down but it wouldn’t come off. Could it possibly be a chip from a rock or something? Any suggestions to fixing it? It’s very minor, but any help would be appreciated!!

 

I can’t even see it. Yes probably from a rock. Touch up paint. If you’re this anal I’d probably suggest getting a ceramic coat ASAP cause Toyota paint sucks. And wax it and get PPF.

 

Your first road trip will result in several more.

 

Yeah you can hardly see it but now that I noticed it, it’s all I see. This is my first new car in over 10 years, so I wanted to take care of her as much as possible. Any recommendations on touch up paint?

 

We’re planning a trip to Yosemite in a couple of weeks, I can only imagine the drive there. I know as time goes on though I won’t care as much.

 

Probably OEM Toyota

 

Yeah, I know. I’m overreacting. First time I take her out onto a trail I’ll look back at this and laugh.

 

Look into Dr. Colorchip.

 

I ended up purchasing the touch-up paint from the dealer. Trust me I know where your coming from.

 

Unless you are supremely skilled at blending in, you will see the touch-up more than you will see the chip. I would not attempt that one.


Put a hood decal over it.
