Will an Aspec kit cover this up???

Hey guys,
I've been on a bit of an AZ Hiatus for a little while now, but I'm back! And I have a question for you guys...

Somehow some paint got scraped off my front bumper, no idea how it happened, but I am thinking that maybe an A-Spec kit will cover this up, what do you think??

Or you could just get some Liquid Paper.

it will cover it up nicely.

This picture will help a bit:





I would consider protecting the area before you install the lip so that the scrape doesn't spread through the years. Maybe throw on a few layers of wax?

I would actually use some touch up paint to ensure that the edges of it do not get worse & move to the non-hidden areas (assuming you get the a-spec kit) I would not worry that the touch will look like crap, as long as it keeps the edges of the peeling parts from peeling anymore.

Do you guys suggest Acura touch up paint, or is there something better out there (And no, NOT white-out)

I just saw this thread --> https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/i-gots-me-job-159009/

Does anyone think it could be a sh!tty paint job that's causing my paint to chip? I did have my bumper replaced after a run-in with a deer about 8months ago...
I know insurance companies cover the repairs for the life of the car (or at least mine does), do you think this would be included? My guess is that they'd BS their way out of it...
I'm going to give it a try in the AM
