Mustache

My mustache on my BRZ front bumper is scratched
Anyone found a way to fix it?
Thinking of just sanding it down and painting it black.

I would leave it scratched. Unless you really know what you're doing, you're going to make it look worse. If I remember correctly, the mustache plastic has a texture pattern on it, and you will ruin it if you sand it down. Also painting it would be a bad idea in my opinion. To do it right, you will have to sand/scuff the entire mustache, apply plastic primer, paint, and clear coat. It won't look like plastic anymore after that, and I don't know if that will look good or bad.

Plasti dip after sanding the surface smooth would be a good try. I also found some photoshops of a painted mustache from this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=899333
