So I was washing my car when I noticed my side marker sticking out, so i snapped it back into place, as i continue to was to my front bumper I noticed this..
http://i61.tinypic.com/a5htt.jpg Fairly upset.. i check my wheel for any curb rash and this is what I find.. http://i59.tinypic.com/vfbjh1.jpg This literally got me in the feels lol http://i58.tinypic.com/sfgsc0.jpg I do not recall when or where this happened lol I wish i did. Any recommendations on touch up paint i should use on my bumper and how i should fix that curb rash??? Thanks! |

for an area so small, why not?? you can take off the wheel and get it freshly painted/ powder coated |
Touch up paints. Try detaching your feels from your car for a bit and you'll be OK.

Get some colour match spray, mask it off and cover it. Grab some white paint and hit the rim. You will still know they are there but 98% of the public will never even notice.

My scrapes on the front right are 10x worse, and the color of my paint is SWP. Where I park in front of my house there is a palm tree that punched out the curb about 1 ft, so it's hard to parallel park. I also have scrapes on 2 of my wheels because of this:(

another reason why black is the best color
|
WHITE OUT ????????????????????
Exactly, This dude would never detail my Car....

Well obviously the tires are painted or powder coated, whatever it is and not on the ends of the wheel where they most occur. Try to get a color match as close as your can or find out the style wheel, Just lightly sand it, tape everything off and touch it up. Shouldn't be a big deal. Now the Bumper. Look up the paint code it is on the car, maybe inside of door. any shop will paint the whole bumper to exact match. Even MAACO now matches every color and they will have it looking like new without a huge cost. I had a couple scuffs underneath my BRZ Satin Pearl. I got the code 37J in a spray can and it came out MINT..........Easy fix, No worries !!!!

UPDATE
http://i57.tinypic.com/347e0pk.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/6sa0oz.jpg Drove 2 hours in traffic but well worth the drive. The body shop recommended by my dealership said they can touch up my bumper for free (no sanding/smoothing, no clear coat, etc), but I said screw that, I wanted to get it done right. Took it to body shop in SoCal recommended by a member here. This place was great, he really cares about his work and the customer. Pretty satisfied. :thumbup: When I got my curb rash, it literally looked like this in my head LOL :lol: http://i59.tinypic.com/6gh3sj.jpg |
