PLEASE HELP! DAMAGED!
I need help, what is the best way to touch up my rear bumper? some lady freakin hit me and it scratched it like big time. Where can I get a match to the color (silver). I need answers quick, I don't want my car looking jacked up, I feel like crap now, I want it to look normal. Please Help.

Then, go to an auto parts store and see if you can find a primer kit - Dupli-color makes one that's about $10. It comes with the Primer, the clear-coat, a package of gloss something-or-other, and really fine sandpaper. Otherwise you might just pick up wach of those individually. You'll need a couple hours, so maybe on the weekend you could tackle it. There's a web-site with instructions on how to do the whole thing, the link is below. Good luck, and remember to take your time ..

i bought some "duplicator" (i think that's the name) touch up paint. Specifically Satin Silver + the clear coat.. from Kragen.... $3, worked great. But a while back someone stated that the touch up paint will NEVER match the car's paint because the machines do it differently and thus creating a diff. color than expected.
