So I ended up doing something stupid and need some advice. I replaced my air filter and got tired of this little tab on the inside of the fender tearing into the front of my filter so I bent the tab down.

This tab held the hood latch line by a clip on it. I moved the clip up to the next hole and bent the tab down (thought I seen someone else mention that they did it) to be out of the way.

Issue is the paint cracked as I pushed it down and chipped off. I know this is probably going to rust, so I would like to get it corrected. Would a paint pen fix the issue? I've never used one or touched up anything on a car


I'll have to get a picture later this afternoon

Check with your Ford dealers parts department and see if they have a touchup kit for your cars color, if they don't have it in stock they can order it for you.
You can also get a kit from Dr. Colorchip.

I picked up a touch up pen with clear coat from Autozone. I nicked a small mark on one of my stripes that I was in need for sonic blue. $15 and done.
