    Just noticed this abomination. Every time i look at my truck i see a new rock chip somewhere. Is this something a dr colorchip kit will fix nicely? Or do i need to take some other measures

    You can find someone locally that does that repair and it may be well worth the cost it its just a couple hundred to fix all the chips. Ive seen guys working car dealers using air brushes and other things...when they are done you would never know there was a chip or scratch. Impressive results, but they do it for a job.

    You can repair yourself, as always prep is key. Some good vids that may be helpful below. In one of them, they applied paint in front of the chip and used a squeegee to push it into the chip, seemed like a smart application.

    Toyota also sells touch up pens that will be a perfect match for your paint code, I imagine for small rock ships and scratches it would be the most cost-effective (~$20) fix.
