Chips in Paint

I have been getting chips in my paint, I realize it's a truck, but is there anything that I can do to stop this from happening so much? What can i do to touch it up?

 

Where are you getting the chips?

 

I bought one of those color matching pens from O'reilly's. Actually works really well.

 

I am getting them on the fenders, and the side of my truck.

 

@gkomo That might be what I look into, but silver seems like it may be hard to match.

 

Touchup paint?

 

They have the pens in OEM Toyota paint codes. Unless you have sunfading it should match perfectly.

 

This >>>>^

 

Are you running wider tires?

 

yes

 

Get bushwacker fender flares to cover the tires or go back to stock width tires/wheels.

Running tires wider than your flares will mean paint damage (its also illegal in some states).

 

aren't bushwackers obnoxious and black? Or can they be color matched as well?

 

They can be painted. Typically they come ready to paint but some people just leave it with the black.

 

And put the mud flaps back on?
