DIY to repaint your bumper? dont think theres one here maybe on another site..and would cost way more to do it yourself than to pay someone..unless your using paint cans+primer+clear coat...touch up paint should come in all colors need to check out your car color code on the side door..check out the site

touchup paint is for small chips, not that. just have a body shop respray and clear the whole thing. im guessing it wound be around $200 depending on the shop.

Re: Help on paint scratches!!!!!

well you can try and do it yourself with some spray paint as a temp fix, but you kinda need to know what youre doing and blend it with the surrounding paint.
