Umm, is this a rock chip?

Sorry to learn about that. It does appear to be a rock chip to me. Well, at least a chip of some kind. I have some on my Yaris too. Fortunately, all but one are on the plastic bumper. My friend has let me use his Nissan touch up pen to cover up the one on the door. The colors hardly match.
The salesman from whom I have bought the car has told me that a Toyota touch up pen was available for purchase for about $10. I have not bought one yet because I have seen my neighbour using something similar on her Camry. The result was not too good. The patches were very visible. However, I do think that the touch up pen can be used to help prevent rusting.

Yeah for me personally I just touch it up to prevent or slow the rust, especially where it snows! But yeah I have little spots over the hood (you have to look hard though as I have black) where I spot painted it cause of damn rocks or whatever putting chips in my hood!
