I have some minor scratches on my bumper, and while I realize it won't look 'stock', I think that anything which is close to SW will do better than having the black of the bumper showing.

I went to www.paintscratch.com and got through to get some SW touch up paint, but then i got options like
Base Coat
Clear Coat
Primer

And i'm not sure which of these I need just to try to cover a handlful of scrapes.

 

i guess it all depends on how legit you want it to look. i dont have any experience using my touch up paint other than to paint my bumper plugs, but i'd imagine the primer will help it adhere better, and the clear coat will help protect the paint. how deep are your scratches?

 

Ehhh welll i've got one or two that are *very* shallow... just scratches really, then i've got these

 

white out lol that is what i used then i found some touch up paint at walmart that matches our sw paint because on it, it says toyota super white.

 

wal mart eh? Do you have any before/after pics? No primer or clear coat?

 

I'd suggest using the touch up paint through the dealership. My sister's 4runner had a few on her front bumper and it worked really well. You can barely even notice it. I would just recommend not using the brush or pen. Take a match and use the end of it, or you can buy some very small detail brushes from an auto parts store like NAPA.

 

i havnt put any on my car yet because i will be getting a cf hood but most of mine are on the hood i used white out before i found it but i just used the walmart one on the front lience plate screws i have no pics and the white out marks far away you cant see them but once you get closer and have your eye right next to it then yeah you can but oh well just gots to wait till the new hood.

 

Yea I think that's probably the best way to go... funny that I would consult SL before I would even call the dealer! It's only gonna cost me about 7 bucks but it will take ten or so days for them to get it.

Should i be worried about these rusting in that time? Haven't noticed anything yet..

 

your bumper is plastic, i dont think it will rust. might wanna get some sand paper to gently and carefully sand the scratches before applying the touch up paint.
