    Cool Touch Up paint, where, how.

    So pretty much Ive got a few nice black marks on my bumpers where they've been scraped and/or hit, nothing serious, but im hesitant on using just normal spray paint, dulux white gloss i think it is, as i wont it to match pretty well.

    How would i go about this?

    Do alot of the big car shops do this kinda stuff, eg. autobahn, repco etc. or do i need to go somewhere specialised??

    Any advice would help

    cheers!

    so you have white bumpers and there are black marks on them?

    have you tried giving them a cut? i.e. grab some cutting compound and rub the shit out of the marks. you may be surprised what comes off

    pics?

    or even thinners.
    but don't expect it to look fantastic after you 'touch up'. you'll always be able to see where the damage is, even after you spray the touch up paint on.
    if you truly love your car take her to a panel shopand get em painted...

    if its white then just sand around the area, get autobahn paint matched to your colour code, then do it, my mate did and you cant even tell, whites an easy colour to blend, and you can use primer if the area has small chips/dents or scratched to help cover it up a little bit, if theres no marks dont bother, but yeah it's not going to be a professional job or anything so dont expect to much out of it

    If you don't know what your doing this is the case, otherwise it isn't a problem.
    I have worked at PaintSpot before, they can make up an aerosol from the paint code for you mate.
