TRD Front Lip Scratched

I unfortunately rubbed my front lip while into a shopping center. I have 3 white scratches that are slightly visible on the black part of the TRD Front Bumper. I'm hoping to cover the scratches just because they bother me.

What's the best way to do this? I don't want to over spray the rest of the area otherwise I would have just gotten some plastidip. I'm not sure where I can get any thing small to paint match considering the material.

Any advice?

Sharpie and then keep it in you glove box because you WILL do it again. At least it is black
There is orange paint on stuff in parking lots all over Southwestern Ontario by now.

The skidplates for the RS1 cars fit anyone running a TRD lip kit. They will cover your existing damage, as well as prevent more scrapes in the future.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111386

They are relatively inexpensive, and if you wear them out I will send you new ones for free.

Also, they are on sale right now, in the commercial section. (Link below)

Use this stuff. Appliance Epoxy touch up. Hard as nails and wont fade. I use this on my undercarriage in my Landcruiser. Very tough.
