Touch Up Paint or too big?
 

Just scratched my frs going up my driveway )= I don't mind the little scratches but the big scrape on the fin bothers me. Could anyone recommend me a good touch up paint brand or if anyone could give me an estimate on how much it would be to paint over the entire bumper? Thanks!

I guess you can try to touch up paint, but it will take some work, but chances are you will scrape it again so I would just leave it and not look down there to remind you of the pain. It is also the lower part of the bumper, it shouldn't be noticeable unless you try to look down on it. I know how it feels, scraped trying to get on some ramps =[

Yeaaa it's not noticeable unless you really look at it and know there is a scrap. Just sad that it happened already but oh well beats having a steep driveway, just have to be more careful now )=

I feel your pain because i hit BBQ Grill with mine.

Yea )= just ordered a bottle of touch up paint from my dealer. Hopefully I can make that big scratch unnoticable from a distance.

I feel your pain because i hit a parking curb with mine. :bonk:
@OP, I've ordered a touchup paint from dr.colorchip which comes in a 3 set process.
I'm thinking of getting a carbon fibre lip for a few hundred dollars, so I'll feel less guilty after any scrapes

Damn sorry to see that happen )=. how did the dr.colorchip work? i just ordered from my local scion dealer for $14 but not sure how it will do because they have to order it. and do you have a link for this carbon fiber lip? thanks!

I love these front bumpers but they sure are targets. I grazed mine pulling up in a parking stall. :/

Yea I really love the look of the bumper, especially the "fangs". Hopefully when I get the touchup paint I can paint that part to make it look a little more better. Will post pictures on how I do!

Damn J! I'm sorry that happened. Before you pay a few good $$, my questions are what are the chances of it happening again? (if very likely...yes touch up) Secondly, have you gotten an estimate to have it retouched professionally?

The touch up paint is currently being delivered! Hope to receive it soon. I didn't go with the official touch up paint kit after reading that it isn't too great.

Here are a few CF lips -

pretty common to scrape up that area

given where it is, touchup should make it look decent enough where you don't see it.

keep in mind these photos were taken from the ground so at eye level you hardly see anything now. definitely not perfect but compared to re-spraying the bumper the client was pretty happy with the result

Looks pretty good then if there wasn't any retouching. Hopefully mines looks just as decent, hate seeing it all scratched up ):

Btw, does anybody know if the Subaru BRZ White have the same color code as the Whiteout for the FRS? I've been calling around almost every Scion dealer around me and none of them have the paint in stock.
