Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat Touch Up?

[Lucky26]

So I recieved my 2023 Lightning Lariat in Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat which I love. And wouldnt you know it, I got a tiny scratch inside the bed on the tailgate. It is not visible from the outside but would prefer to touch it up and coat it to keep it from getting worse. Ive never had to do a touchup before. Anyone have any sugestions for touching up Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat? The mark is tiny but not just a line scratch. Its about half the size of a pea. No dent in the metal, just paint off the top. Any thoughts or feedback would be helpful.

Would also like a short primer on boo-boo touch-up. Paint source, prep, etc.

Is it inside of the bed? I wouldn't bother. There is no way you can safely protect the bed from other scratches unless you put some type of liner in it. A bed rug, plastic bed liner, or a spray-in liner.

You will have scratches and dings everywhere unless the only thing you throw in the bed is laundry without metal zippers on it.

I hear you. It’s on the inside of the tailgate but toward the top. It’s not terrible and yes the bed will get dinged. But I can’t help wanting to cover this first one.

I’m also looking for a touch-up paint pen in azure gray metallic. Can you post a link to purchase? I’ve been unable to find where to order on ford parts.

This is what I got and was very happy with it.
