    I bet a good clay bar / ironx will remove alot of the color / scrape into the clearcoat and then hit the actual paint damage with a touch up pen. As others have said it really sucks. I use to flip over even rock chips and then realized life is too short to be obsessing over a f**king truck. Don't sweat it dude, though I know that doesnt help.

    Coming from someone who has wasted countless money on mods, paint protection film, ceramic coatings, etc. Don't fret it, its a vehicle, they're tools to get from point A to point B, they will get damaged, will break, will eventually rust, fade, grow old, etc. Don't stress the small stuff. But yep first one always hurts, try and get some rest dude!

    The white tip is a "sanding" tip to break sharp edges on the paint and scuff the surface to be touched up.

    This is your best friend: Learn to use it properly (tons of YouTube vids) and dings pretty much disappear. You will appreciate the hell out of it once you start offroading the Taco.
