i have a few rock chips on the front on my bumper. i dont really have the money to get the whole thing painted right now, so what would be the best option to conceal the scratches? i know painting may be the best option, but what else works? touch up paint may not work also because the area is kinda big
i was worried about it yellowing, and i wasnt sure if i was going to get an aftermarket bumper at the time.....i guess when it gets bad enough, i'll have a reason to get a new bumper
i bought 2 because i got em cheap and sold em for markeup! sold one on driver to someone in kansas. then i was going to relist the second one, but decided i wanted something simpler then a front bumper
if you want a quick fix, look at www.langka.com. if you want a cheaper solution, look for something called paint surface leveler or somethign at your local auto store. that's what i use, it does the same thing as langka but for $2. the site will have good info but what it does is: you put a tiny bit of touch up paint over the chip, let it dry, then put a tiny bit of the surface leveler on a rag, and wipe over it once or twice - it takes the excess touch up paint off so only the paint in the actual chip is left. looks pretty clean.
that being said, i have also learned to live with it for all my cars. realized it's just a phase (i.e. super anal about chips in the beginning --> learn to live with it --> after a while, you realize no one can see them except you!
