Gen6 Camry SE front bumper..... v.touch up paint?

Hey guys, I haven't been on this site in a long time since I've been preparing to go back to school and moving and such.

Anyways, I need the group's opinion on the something. On my newish Camry SE, one thing I noticed after I bought the car (it was used) was that the front lip portion of the bumper was scraped. It doesn't bother me all that much because from the front and side looking at the car, you can't tell the bottom front bumper has been scraped all that much. There's one small area on the front where you can tell barely that the front was scraped a little.

I'm thinking of just getting some Barcelona Red touch up paint and just easy going over the bottom of the bumper; as I really don't have the money or time to get the bottom portion completely taken care of. I might get it repainted whenever I get a spoiler - but that's in due time.... I expect to keep this car quite a while. =)

So, bad idea? Has anyone used touch up paint on their Camry yet? Any idea how much they cost? I've used it before and it wasn't great - but it helped on rock chips and a few nicks here and there. Considering its the bottom of the bumper, I don't think it's going to look all that bad.

Coming from an SUV to a low car, parking this Camry has been a pain in the ass. It's just a tad too low for parking curbs.

Anyone thinking that it'll look like ass?

for small little dings and scratches touch up paint will be 'ok', but will still be noticeable ..

you can try out the touch up paint on the bottom, and see how it blends in.. if it looks ugly, then you can still wipe it off and use some polish to wipe off the touch up paint before it fully cures.

yeah touch up paint is still noticeable, but considering this is at the bottom, it shouldn't be really that bad. Should be a pretty easy fix. Theres about four portions of the bumper that are scraped off. :-/ Again not noticeable when standing and looking down at the car. :-)
