Small Scrape Front Bumper

cfabluenose · 03-04-2012, 11:52 AM

Hi,

I have a small, superficial scrape on fron bumper about the size of a dime. Would the BMW touchup paint work reasonably well to at least get rid of the few white scratches on the bumper? The scratch looks a bit more dramatic due to the lighting in the photo. And yes the car needs a wash. Thanks.

Heard touchup paint is bad at color matching.

It would look A LOT better than that white mark glaring out at you, that's for sure.

Unlike the poster above, I've had pretty good luck with BMW touch up paint when I take the time to do it right (thin layers, and staying inside the lines). Good luck

Thanks. I'll try careful application of touchup paint. It should look better than a white scratch.
