Default Bumper damage

Quite a while ago i went up a driveway too quickly and scratched bits and pieces of paint (about 5 millimeters in diameter each) off the left side of my black front bumper. Its barely noticeable, so i dont worry about it, but now that i want to get a Mach 1 chin spoiler, i fear that it will look ugly. Hopefully, i can post pics of the very minor damage later on, but i wanted to know what would be the best way to fix this damage or cover it up. Does my warranty cover this kind of minor damage? Should i touch it up with something? Whats your opinion?

the only way to find out would be to call the insurance company...but i doubt it since i cant see how it would be considered collision...but post some pics, maybe you can buff it out.

Those are the pics of the damage. What is the best way to go about fixing this before I install the Mach 1 chin spoiler?

Well, what you could do to cover it for now.

Scrape a tiny piece off and bring it to a Nail shop, and have them match the paint with black Nail polish
And use that.
Prolly should buy that clear coat **** too

Did that when I had to cover some things on my car til I got it fixed.
Matched the paint great. Couldnt notice it unless you were looking for it.

its hardly noticeable...but by the looks of it, you have an aftermarket front bumper. i doubt a mach 1 chin spoiler would fit.

I wanted to know how you got along with the nail paint? I have done the same thing, and wondered how you got along with it?
