Default rattle-canning over oxidation?

hey guys

my bumper has some cancer fading... along with my hood.



me being a broke *** student, cant really afford to pay for a full hood / bumper repaint.

i was wondering if it would be ok if i sanded down the oxidated areas on my bumper, then went over it with some duplicolor black or something? is there anyway to blend the paint to fade it into the factory black? i dont want a noticeable black patch

any ideas?

thanks

Your best bet would be to go some place that puts factory paint into rattle cans.

Then spray it on. It wont be perfect, but it'll be better than some walmart paint.
