Touch up paint ?

[EJ-Fresno]

The 2 shops I have been to today are asking for $750. They recommend painting the whole bumper (obviously) saying the local touch-up only would ruin the whole bumper...
I think I will give a try to the dr colorchip at first. Or this will be useless for key scratches?

The bumpers are made of urethane - no rust to worry about at least.

I had a gash in the side of my rear bumper, where I think someone backed up into something like a rockery. I didn't have bondo, so mixed up some epoxy and filled it up, and I filed down the high spots with a razor. Not done yet, still need to work on it. Was going to see if I can repair it somehow with the factory touch-up. The epoxy is super durable. Hope I can find a good way to smooth it.

Try it yourself first. I just finished repairing a scratch on the front fender that looked like PO hardtop misfire. After 4 or 5 layers of DrC over time it looks acceptable and smooth to the touch. Used the rest on road rash etc. I'm pleased. Also, a little goes a long way. Don't over buy. Experiment till you find your technique. No penalty for a mistake, you can use the solution to undo anything.
