09 Camry, small scratch on rear bumper, fix it DIY, instruction please

[xiuaoka]

Today when I want to park my car, my camry touched the back car and got a small scratch on my rear bumper. I want to fix it by myself but I have no idea what kind of materials should be used. Any one can give me some instruction? Thanks very much!!

Check out the Detailing and Car Care forum. Many people have discussed how to use touch-up paint to fix scratches.

Find a bumper sticker you like it put it over it.

Touch up paint until your bumper is more than 50% touchup paint. (Then it's time to get a new bumper).

The scratches on your bumper should never be your fault though, be more conscientious in your parking.

first I debuff it with some scratch remover in case there was any paint trading, and then I fill it in with some touchup paint. However, sometimes it leaves bubbles and you cant get that smooth surface. Any of you know how to truly restore it with touch up paint to what it was before? Mine just looks like I put white out on it. (Even though I use the same color paint pen)

lol I wonder how many small bottles of touch-up paint one needs to cover 50%


Just wax it.
