Paint chip advice

[Marquezz]

hey guys,

i just recently bought an integra with a pearl white color. i have a few paint chips on the front bumper and on the side door. is there a type of paint that i can buy to fill in these chips?? because i am not willing to get a whole paint job done just for this minor cause. if so, can anybody tell me what kind of paint i can buy from a local car shop?

thankx guys

i just use touch up paint. if you get the right kind that matches your car. it's not that noticeable.

^ That might be useful if you plan on using touch-up paint for the chips.

pearl white is one of the hardest colors to color match, thats what someone told me.

Go to honda and get a touch up kit. If your chips are to big then you will have no option other than painting the whole bumper or door.

leave the paint chips for that "sleeper" look:twisted:lol...but really, Id go get a touch up kit from the dealer,atleast then the color will match for sure

Dupli color has oem color match paint. It comes in a lil nail polish type container. They make em with a pin type tip for long deep scratches and a paint brush end. They work pretty good. But the pen side sucks after the first use if you don't clean it up good enough. But yeah it works decently, or as I like to put it , jus temporarily! Lol

Any advice on fixing up the bumpers since there made of plastic, i have some little - to deep strachs on them, I'm thinking about buying 98+ front / rear bumpers..

If there are just a few deep scratches, I don't see why a body filler and some touch up paint wouldn't work. Then again, I've never tried that.

^ Well i found a guy who can paint my whole car for 700 bucks, and yet I dunno I might just buy a 98+ font/rear bumper.... Can the paint on a bumper be sanded off? I realy dunno, might just buy another black bumper instead of risking a crappy paint job
