chip paint cover

I have been told you can get paint to cover the rock chips and scratches on
your Toyotas from the dealers parts departments. When I called the
dealership, they said there was no such animal.

Has anyone else purchased paint like this?

It's called "touch-up paint".

Ask for touch-up paint. You will need the color code from the driver's door
sticker.

If the dealer does not carry your color code, you can also try your local
auto parts store.

Comes in a small bottle with a built in brush. You'll need your paint
code located inside the drivers door. Last one I purchased was less
than $10, not bad for factory paint.

Sure; it's known as "touch-up paint." It's sold in plastic cylinders
that are maybe five inches long, and have a small brush attached to
the inside of the cap. The person you talked to was either lying or
an idiot.

When you go back to the dealership to buy some touch-up paint, don't
just try to describe the color you need. Get the color code from the
door plate of your car. They'll probably also ask for the year and
model.

By the way, some of the newer touch up paint containers have a pen
applicator in addition to a brush so you can put a dot of paint down in a
small chip area. I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a good idea.

Have you considered asking your mom for a pin? ;)

Sounds like a good idea for the tiny little spots - I use a toothpick
with some success too.
