WDP Touchup Paint Experiences
Had some small gouges in the rear bumper due to a parking lot mishap and went to touch it up tonight. As anyone who's tried to use the WDP touchup knows, that touchup stuff sucks - it's like clear nail polish with sparkles, and whatever's underneath shows through. Not good, as the bumper is black underneath.
Anyhow,what I did was go to the car parts store and buy some plain old white touchup, and put that on first. The WDP after and on top gave it the right look, but if I had to do it again I'd just mix the two first. Hope this helps anyone unfortunate enough to need to do this.

Touch up paint sucks!! I tried fixing a ding on my bumper and it ended up looking worse...more noticable than the ding itself. IMHO, if it ain't all that bad, leave it be.
