Touch up above back wheel well

Hello to all,

Since I'm not a paint & body auto shop guy, seeking your opinions.

i bare clipped a wooden pole at my ranch. See pics. No indentations or deformity damage, just loss of about 3/4" paint & prob surrounding clear coat.

Since this wheel well piece can be taken off by removing 3-4 screws, I was thinking of just undoing screws & taking it somewhere. Would is there any type of rubber mounding or similar btw the wheel well piece and main body of car that by removing would cause more problems?

The other option would be to neutralize the outer rust, and try touching up myself. Are their kits for this that wk well? Would i need to get Toyota paint or can it be matched?

Other options?

Thabk you very muxh,
tstex

 

Battle tested is all!

 

Get a paint pen from Amazon and no one will ever notice. After a while you won’t either.

 

I cannot find my paint code on my 2024 silver tundra. Do i need to call Toyota w vin#?

 

Toyota sells OEM touch up paints for $10 - 12. Code should be on the door jamb, or just use this handy online resource (https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/toyota/2024/tundra/).

 

Excellent. Thank you Pine.

This ! ..No worry on rust with paint over plastic.

 

When i went to YouTube to get some ideas, they did the paint restoration over real metal and show how to remove the rust first. Didn't think of that, thanks.

 

Toyota has some quality control issues but thankfully rust on plastic isn't one of them yet!

 

O1J9 per dealer, so celestial silver metallic. There was no paint code on the driver door, but i should be good to go.

After i do my touch up, I'll post b4 & afters

thanks again

 

It's there.. white sticker on the B pillar (not the door); second line from the bottom, immediately below the bar code. Now that you know the code, go back and check - you will see it.

 

I had similar damage- it’s easy to pull off the whole fender flare and prep+ paint. I found a local auto paint shop that mixed up a color matched rattle can for me for $14.99. Came out as good as new, although my flares are gloss black, not color matched to body.

 

I stand corrected. You are 100% right. It's there, but not how it's supppsed to be displayed, but i know it now for sure. Thanks!

 

Dammm. Poor truck!!
