Nice truck, is it leveled?
I use this (Amazon - ACDelco touch up) on my summit white AT4X where I have chips. I have a full front PPF so my spots where I've used it are in very odd spots like between the bumpers and near my rear bumper.
I highly recommend using 2 or 3 coats with multiple hours of dry time between. I let it dry for a day after each coat. Then use the clear in the bottom over the top and it will look decent. I'll attach a photo of one of mine.
Also use a different brush like a thin fine point Testors model brush so you get the best placement of paint on the panel.
Updated with an image. I'm definitely not a painter but this is from 2 inches away and any further and you would never notice it.

For paint chip repair, consider products like the Dr. ColorChip or the ChipFixx Paint Chip Repair Kit and for any others repair kits for vehicle. These kits typically come with everything you need to touch up paint chips, including paint matched to your vehicle's color, applicators, and clear coat.
