Default Touch up

Got a love tap in a parking lot today =/ and i need to do some touching up. it is about a 6 in line that is less than 1/4th of an inch wide so its not very noticable at all. is automotive touch up a good website to buy paint from? and should i just regularly apply the paint after making sure theres no dirt on it?

Ouch, thats rough. it's going to be very notice able no matter what unless you repaint the whole thing, OR throw a super snake stripe over it.

You could get some primer and basecoat paint and clearcoat in a rattle can from ww.paintscratch.com, they color match paint. I've gotten some from them and it works great. I think they have paint pens as well but I'd prefer the spray cans. You'd probably have to sand the edge and surrounding areas to make sure the paint will grab on.

Edit:

I see this thread has been dead for a while. Oops.

You can definitely use a paint pen. I only worry about how well the paint will adhere to the bumper as well as the smoothness of the surface. If its really small then you'd probably be ok
