I was planning on taking it to a body shop, but other than that would touch up paint hold up well? I mean the bumpers plastic not metal so i dont expect any rust... I got my car 4 days ago!!!
Warranty covers manufacturer defects, not accidents. Insurance covers accidents. Pics would help, but overall I would say take it to a body shop and get it redone right. Touch up paint just wont be the same, depending on the size of what you are trying to cover up. You can take the bumper off the car yourself and take it in, which will save you some money on it (its easy, follow the DIY..i did it in 30 minutes with 0 experience).
