Default Got a paint/body repair question and another front lip question

iight I got a del sol with A LOT of paint chipped off the front bumper due to a lot freeway action, I wanna paint it but I dont wanna make my front bumper look newer then the rest of my car...any suggestions on how I can get rid of the chips without painting the whole bumper and makin it look nicer then the rest of the car

Im also trying to look for a Spoon Style or Mugen Style carbon fiber lip for my del sol, I looked on ebay.com, passwordjdm.com, jdmcarboy.com, and jdmshit.com and none of them have what im looking for....can anyone recommend a site that I can find one. JDMcarboy used to sell a spoon style lip but discontinued it.

heres a picture of the lip I want...its the first large picture you see.

Just pick up touch up paint and touch the chips up with a fine tipped brush. Or replain the bumper and wash and wipe it like crazy. It will eventually fade the paint to match. Won't be perfect but pretty close. You will only really notice a difference when you just get it out of the paint booth. After a few washes it looks the same
