Default Touch up paint recommendation

Any recommendation on how to go about applying touch up paint. I have 2023 rx350h eminent white. A well intentioned, helpful family member did not lift their luggage enough while loading it in the trunk(!). It not to bad but I see the chip and with black undercoat it is noticeable.

Where to buy - I got one from autozone but it is a single pen without any clear coat. Any other recommendation?

Also, where can I find the exact color code? It says eminent white 085 on the pen but wondering if more specific information is available somewhere.

Yes, that’s the correct color code.
I ordered mine from Bell Lexus — Links for each below:

EMINENT WHITE PEARL
Part Number: 002580008521

EMINENT WHITE PEARL (BASE COAT)
Part Number: 00258085BC21

I watched a lot of videos on how to put it on, with different opinions as some didn’t use the applicator it came with but toothpicks, some made the end of a toothpick into a brush, etc.

Good thing yours is on a flat surface as mine was on the front side and the paint had a tendency to run downwards, because of gravity, so it kind of “blobbed” up, so I had to be careful on how much I put down, hence the toothpick. Oh man, I’m such a perfectionist and it took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get the base coat just right and I kept wiping it off with alcohol before applying other layers 🤪

You will have a much easier time applying yours 👍

One more thing: Bell Lexus has FREE Shipping and NO Sales Tax, which is a bonus for me as my local sales tax is over 10%. They usually have sales around holidays on top of their already marked down prices, so right now I keep checking to see if there’s one for Memorial Day and hopefully, they’ll announce it on their website soon so I can order a couple items.

It's a tricoat paint- base, mid and clearcoat. Not easy to touch up but it will have to do.

Yup, highly unlikely to get a perfect match.
