TL Bumper Scratch

I accidentally rubbed against a curb and some paint came off on the side of my front bumper. Do you think touch up paint can be used to fix this?

Still can't tell how deep the scratches are, but missing a lot of paint. You could touch it up yourself depending on how picky you are. I would bring it to a body guy to fix. That looks like an easy area to blend the paint in without noticing it.

Sure, touch-up paint will cover it up. It just depends on if that will do the trick for you or not.

Since its very low on the bumper. touch up would be fine. It wont be that noticeable. Touch it up several times and then buff it real good.
