Hey all, got hit by a piece of debris that came off a semi on the highway the other day. Small but deep-ish paint chip on a brand new truck, does have advice on the best way to fix this?

I was thinking of just getting the Toyota touch up paint pen but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

I’d clean it up with a razor blade before any painting happens.
