Spray Paint Help

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good quality spray paint that i can use on the rear bumper. It has a few scratches on the back from an idiot at work backing up into me. Bodyshop quote is 350 to fix which isn't too bad but they need the car for bout 3 days. Also been thinking bout getting a jdm bumper...both are good options... howerver either one can not be done till the end of the summer since my tune is nearing. So wat paint to u recomend just to cover this up. I know it won't be perfect but it will look better than it does now. I plan on puting very light coats on just enought to blend the scratch and maybe a clear coat after. Please help

You could probably pay someone $100 to touch up your bumper. Or they have a new method where the buff until your paint heats up and smears your current paint. Looks really good for a cheap alternative.

He means wet sanding and that won't help. It is what it sounds like, sanding with water. If you try to paint it yourself, it will most likely come out like crap, especially if your using a rattle can. Just get a body shop to do it right.

dont use spary paint for something like that a good shop dose NOT even have to spary the hole bumper they just do a blend on that coner and buff out the blend, if you get a jdm bumper then you would have to spary the hole bumper witch is more then 350$. just find a really good shop next to you and ask them how mutch to blend the bumper...if you use spary paint youll never have it blend out right and just get overspary all over the bumper or the hole car..
