I was at a company party last Friday, and some a$$hole decided to key my rear bumper.

I was wondering if anyone can provide suggestions if this is a fixable scratch. It's a vertical scratch, about 5" long and not very deep.

It was alarming to do a search on this site and and find so many victims of vandalism.
Seems many have used touch-up pens, but I need some advice before getting started.

Thanks

 

Bumper paint is really hard to fix...something with the material that its on...i would get an estimate from a body shop or try touch up paint....heres some links

OMFG, Who is the F*cker that did that to your TSX? I swear, there are so many haters out there! I also am a proud owner of a 2005 TSX Carbon Gray Pearl, its an awesome color isn't? I wish I can program a Terminator to go hunt and get that MoFo. My Condolences

 

do the paint pen thing....wal-mart has exact honda matches...just take s alot of time and elbow grease but you can get it to something only you notice i bet

 

everytime i use that kind of paint i can never get it to be flat, its always above the paint, are you supposed to sand it or something? I just drip it in

 

well your supposed to build up layers...little by little...and for small cracks use a toothpick...you need to be really patient...then some scratch x once its built up to even everything out

 

Sorry to hear about the key jerk

Dont worry. He/She will get theirs.

One word:

Karma

 

Thanks for the condolences / advice.


I guess I'll have to buy that paint pen...It sure didn't seem that long ago that the dealer would give you a can of free paint - but I've heard bad things about Honda / Acyra paint - especially on the pearls and metallics.

The sad thing is it was at a company-only party, so it's some co-worker of mine that doesn't have the balls to want a confrontation.
