Guys,

yesterday some else backed into my front bumper and left a nice scratch dead center.. what should i do stands out like a sore thump it is right to the plastic. help will touch up paint work or do i need to repaint the bumper..

 

I have a scratch too that looks like this and I dont know how to fix it my self either

 

Check with your dealer. In Detroit there is an outfit by the name of Top Gun. they do the car onsite in 45 mins. I had a dime size chip and you cannot tell even with magnifying glass.

They sand down to bumper., then blend in with a hobby airbrush. The clearcoat is also blended. Awesome job $60.00!!!

 

Be careful of those airbrush touch up places........they use laquer paint (no clear coat). I would just have it repainted, it will save you a BIG headache.

 

I had a 10 inch wide by 1/4 in high scratch on the bottom half of my front bumper. I used touch up paint and it did't work. I told the dealer and he told me to go to an automotive paint store and give them the color code number and they will mtach the color in spray paint form. This shop mixed it right there while I waited (cost was $10.00). I used a very very soft scrub pad and rubbed to smooth out the scratch and then masked around it and spray painted over the scratch. It came out perfect.

 

I think I need to do this. Which shop did you go to??

 

Acura's touch up paint blows. I tried using it on the bumper and it took the paint right off. But it did work well on any metal parts.

 

don't worry.u can use touch up paint to cover that.as it will not get rusty.bumper is always the easiest to fix..
