    2021 Tacoma TRD OFFROAD Voodoo Blue
    Hey everyone,

    I purchased a 2021 Voodoo Blue TRD OR a few weeks back and while it will need some paint correction to have it looking like I want... I did notice a few rock chips that I would like to fix up as well. These are fairly small ones, about a half dozen, ranging from a pin head to slightly larger.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for product? Seems there's so many options and I read good and bad about all of them. I've heard it's best to fix them after a paint correction, if that's also good advice, let me know.

    Thanks!

    I'd have a professional do it.
    There are pros that frequent dealers, if you have a relationship with them, ask them.
    I bought a used truck once, and used their guy, he was very reasonable and did a fantastic job.

    Pinhead sized? Call up your local dealer and order a touch up pen (think mine was ~$15). Looks like voodoo blue code is 8T6. I bought one for my truck and keep it in a ziploc bag for any tiny chips or scratches as I notice them. Come in very handy!

    severity of damage will determine best course of action. Also, the level of precision and desired end state will direct which option is the best fit for you and your truck.

    That link @Cboody69 posted is exactly what I got from the dealer, and the same price. The only advantage from picking up from the dealer would be if you could stop by a local one if they're close to you and if they have them in stock. Just call them and ask if they have any 8T6 touch up pens available and if you can swing by and grab one. If not, then that link on Amazon will do you good.

    Also, you can check your driver side door jamb to verify the color code. The code will have a C/TR in front of it. A typical code will look like C/TR: 1D4/FH13, and 1D4 would be the color code in this example.
