Help - Bumper Scratch

Hey Guys...

I have had my carbon grey tsx for about a year now, and I have some minor scratched on the front bumper to the sides. There is a minor scratch on the hood too...about 1 and a half inches. Its more of a abrasion.

I was wondering what I can do by myself to touch up on these scratches because I don't want to spend lots of money getting it repainted. COuld anyone show me how to paint it myself and still keep it looking sharp???

Thanks

Other than a good buff or some touch up paint there's not a whole lot that you can do by yourself for exisiting marks.
You might want to do a search on the site on protectants (clearbra) you can apply to prevent future marks.

the touch-up pen works pretty well for small things. I filled in some rock chips and was happy w/ the results.

BTW: use more descriptive titles for your threads
