I bumped into the concrete wall in front of my parking space at work this morning (don't ask) and noticed that my beautiful bumper now has a sizable paint scratch right on one side of my front bumper . Since my car is Super Black, which touch-up paint should I buy from Courtesy? The standard touch-up paint with brush in cap for $4, or the touch-up PEN with clear coat for $12??? Also, how do I get the maxima.org discount on my order to Courtesy?

Thanks

 

Don't know much about the paint pens or standard touch up paint, but try looking into http://www.paintscratch.com

Several members have bought a can and are extremely satisfied with the product.

 

Thanks, clee...but it's a TINY spot! (No bigger than the eraserhead of a pencil) Do you recommend I get the can of paint and tape off the area? I was kind of hoping people would say "for rock chips and minor blemishes the paint pens/touch-up paint would work well"

 

but touch up paint does work fairly well.

If you know the following already, don't be insulted...some people don't...

Get the standard type (with the brush in the bottle), but also buy yourself a couple fine tipped artist brushes...clean the area thoroughly, let it dry, and start with just enough paint to color the area, not fill it. The paint will 'shrink' into the hole as it dries, so you will likely need several very thin coats building up to the level or the surrounding paint.

This is about the best way I have found to fill a chip and short of more major repairs, does well enough not to be seen from just a couple (1-2) feet away.
