Found what I assume to be a rock chip/scratch when washing my LC today. Two questions:

1: does this need to be repaired or is it just cosmetic? My concern is that maybe this is bare metal and is a rust risk?
2: do I need to have this professionally repaired or is there a simple diy solution?

  1. Looks like its only primer and not the metal but if you see anything silvery then...
  2. No, but you could try touch up (tutorial). The paint code for heritage blue is 8X0 and has been on several previous toyotas incluing the FJ.
 
I would just hit that with a Toyota touch up pen, regardless of if it’s down to the metal or not.
 
It’s definitely a matte gray so I think it’s just primer!

Looks like a lot of places make a pen like touch up direct, paint 2 fix, etc… I assume this is an area where I definitely want to try and get oem from my dealer though, does Toyota make pens?
