A stupid lady hit me a while back but at very low speeds...I'm guessing <=5mph. It was dark so all I could do was feel the bumper up with my hands to make sure there were no dents. I get home to find out that the paint has wrinkled. After a couple carwashes, the paint decides to peel off.

I know that touch-up paint is good for rock chips on the hood but can I use it for the rear-bumper as well?

 

I've been wondering the same... I have a nice Wal-Mart shopping cart battle scar on my bumper

 

touch up paint does a really good job of.. touching up won't "repair" it but, it won't be visible from < 5 feet away.. go for it

 

I say go for it, if a little blemish won't bother you. My front lip is owned by touchup paint. Looks pretty bad up close because of how many scrapes I have. However, as you can see. Hard to tell in pictures that it is scraped at all

How much does touch up paint run? Where do you get it?

 

go to da dealer mang

or http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/

 

Dealership. My dealership only will sell me touchup paint in sets of 3 bottles since thats how it is shipped to them. Its $12 for a 3 pack of factory touchup paint.

I've gone through about 1.5 bottles.... and when I get the car runnin again, and cleaned up for spring, I'll be down to @ least 1...

Touch up pwN3z

 

Use something called "kit scratch out" (first) if that white is paint transfer.
If that does not work, use like a clearcoat safe paint thinner, and buff it out
with a very fine abrasive.

 

That won't work...he said the paint was wrinkled...then peeled off...

Unless you are picky...touch up paint will do the trick...

yeah, do it.
it wont fix it but will make it look much better.

 

seriously i don't see the battle scare
am i blind or is it just hidden

 

Put a VTEC sticker over it.

 

It's right on top of the license plate

 

Right above the license plate

 

Even if you are picky, touch up paint will work.....

and I had a multicolored py from the factory.....

 

I will get flammed for this one..but whatever..
2 days after I bought my gsr, (just learned how to drive standerd a day before, and use to drive my auto teg with 2feet to me. ) Anyway, i crashed into a wall at about 2 mph...concrete wall, thought the clutch was the break to me again. Anyway, i scratch the front of the bumper, the part that sticks out... I got my bottle of touch up out, and went to town..hours later, it looked much better

Cliff notes: Touch up paint can do just about anything

 

Try going to http://www.langka.com It is some type of paint chip repair system. It work with your factory touch paint and what it does is it removes the blob that is usually left over after putting touchpaint and only leave the paint that is inside the scratch. Just ordered it today. Seems like it works. Hopefully it works.

 

isn't someone was selling the CW paint spray can awhile ago?
