I agree with Larry - get some of the touch up paint at the dealership. Just tell them the year and color - if you don't know the paint code. Cost me about $6 for a little bottle applicator.

Since Toyota tends to put on a relatively thick coat of paint - it probably won't peel on you right away, but since the damaged area is small - a touch up bottle might do the trick.

rudyossanchez has a good point of aftermarket paint repair - may not match the finish perfectly - but some kits are very comprehesive and have excellent directions to fill and polish the repaired chip. You can find some that look like a pen - touching up should be a breeze.

induction1 - if the chip is that deep - I'd fix it as soon as you can. I have a few chips that I didn't fix for almost two years - zero rust and no flaking. Just depends where and how deep the damage is. As for the pit in the windshield - as long as it doesn't look like a crack (starting to spread) or a bullseye (deep pit with delamination) I wouldn't woory about it. Some of the glass repair kits can discolor or yellow sometimes as quickly as 3 months or may cause more damage by widening the crack. If it is a place that doesn't impair your vision - I'd leave it alone. Doesn't matter how careful your are - you gonna get a chip or a pit in the windshield sooner or later (unless you seal your car up in the house).

Washing the area with dishwashing detergent, using alcohol or similar solvent will strip all the wax off the finish.

Generally do not have to prime the chip with newer body panels - as long as the chip didn't gouge the metal - you're good to go. If it did - you need to do prep the chip first.

For small chips - you can use a fine paintbrush, toothpick, etc. to fill the chip. Several thin layers are better than a couple of thick layers of paint. Fill the chip up a little higher than the rest of the area - not too much - because you will need to polish it off later.

After the repair cures - take some polishing compound and work the repair area to bring it down to the level of the good paint. Make sure that the polishing compound is clear coat safe and abrasive free - don't worry - it will still be able to cut the paint down. Follow up with some sealer / wax and your done.

Good Luck.

I have the ligter silver color on my Corolla - the touch up paint is a little darker - but not by much. You can try to test it on some non-absorbent, neutral colored material and see if it dries lighter. Sounds like the dealership screwed up again.
