Go to a body shop and see if they will mix you up some touch up paint. It will match much better than what the dealer gives you. You can also use the tip of a match for the spot with the dent. I would be careful about trying to brush touch the scratches as it can make the area look worse than before. For the scratches, you can always take some colored wax and apply it opposite to the way the scratch goes and let it sit and then take the wax off around the scratch. If you do it right, the wax will sit in the scratch and harden.

For the poster above who said use a toothpick- thanks! Worked great for chips in stove paint (in the kitchen). Will have to try it on the truck, if I can find the right ruby red paint.

Used the touch-up paint brush years ago on my car, and I agree the brush makes it look worse. But if you have the right touch, I think it can be done and look good if not using that thing.
