if you have a few big spots then you are probably going to need to take it to a shop and have the whole bumper resprayed. touch up paint is ony good for small paint chips and things like that. you arent going to be able to fill in an area the size of a quarter and have it look good, especially if you are a beginner. if your chip is much bigger than a BB, then i would suggest having a pro fix it. and spray can touch-up is just asking for problems

I have to agree with Ryan.......if you think you need to spray your car......let a pro do it......or become a pro at spraying yourself. I doubt many professionals paint cars with rattle cans from Wal-Mart.

If they are small rock chips, this site sells factory matching paint, with a variety of application methods (liquid (for air-brushes, Langka system), rattle-can, paint pen.....)

http://www.expresspaint.com/

2 oz. of (liquid) paint touches up a LOT of rock chips.

2 oz. is about $25.00 dollars including shipping....not bad for factory color matched paint.
