    hey all, I have a 2014 super white tacoma with a scratch under the hood. Under the hood is a very thin coat of paint. Anyways, I want try to fix the scratch and am looking for paint. Not super white paint, the base coat, or maybe the base coat is the super white without a cleat coat? No idea. Thank you.

    Just the essentials and no extra fluff.
    Just get a bottle of touch up paint from the dealer.

    x2 on the touch up paint. It's under your hood so who cares and who will really see it? Go to the dealer and get the touch up paint stick. Matches perfect.

    Single stage paint all over your exterior. No problems with clear coat.
