Default Paint chipping

Like the title says there is a spot on my truck where the paint chipped. anyone know of any touch up paint or how to fix the chipped paint?

also, the paint chipped because my paint seems to be forming a bunch of really small scratches everywhere. it's only noticable if you look really closely. anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks

Any good automotive paint store can mix a spray can of factory colored paint. Napa locally, mixes Martin Senyor, another mixes Dupont with excellent results. I guess you need to figure what you need and if you need a lot, go with the mix, or get yourself a pint or quart mixed and do a spray job. You can get some small mixed tubes at Wallyworld or other parts stores, so go from there.

Alright thanks! I'll have to check that out.

Anyone have any ideas about the scratches?

Clear coat scratch pen. Simonize makes one sold at Walmart, Fred Meyers, etc. It's a good item. I use it and have had good to excellent results.
