Rep Power: 0 How do I fix this bumper up?
I just bought a new (2nd hand) regular 02 civic coupe bumper in replacement for mine that is totally done. This new one is great but this light scrape/scratch in the left of the photos, it doesn't have any feel to it, its just there and I can't get it off with WD-40, witch i've noticed is actually great for getting off some scratches. Now, the bigger almost start of a peel, you know what I mean. I don't know what to do about these and it's not a huge deal to me but of course i'd love it perfect! Any suggestions on what to do? I have done a DIY bumper scratch fix and it worked great on the front but not so much on the old back bumper, so I don't think I want to attempt that again.
Thanks and all opinions are appreciated! BTW, kind of tried with a dupli-color paint pen and that thing was crap.

Re: How do I fix this bumper up?
I have a grey um *cough*cough* silver car too that has a bunch of paint imperfections as well. There's a product called ScratchX that wipes on like polish that helps to blend it. Frankly just keeping it waxed help a lot as well. Silver is a good colour for not showing the scratches too much... at least until you get up close. I wax my car every 3 months. Other than that respray the bumper is the only way to get it perfect. I've been told that silver is hard to colour match as well... I would find it more annoying to have an entire part resprayed and not perfectly match the car. I'm pretty OCD about stuff like that too.
