I ruined my yellow hood using the touch up paint. Look for a www.bumpermedic in your area to repair it. If not go to body shop, Iit will be very noticeable on that color paint. I touched up my bumper and it looks like crap.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, some of those look a little deep and with that yellow color you would probably be better off in the long run to get it fixed at a bumper repair or body repair shop and have it repainted.

You could attempt it yourself and see what it looks like. If it doesn't look good when you are done (Which I think will be the case) take it to an autobody shop and have them paint the bumper again. Or at the very least get a quote on the work before you make a descision. It MIGHT not be as expensive as you think.

Is the plastic below the paint scratched? Looks like it.

depends

If you are OK with it looking Ok, then you can probably buff most of it out and fill in the rest with some touch-up paint. If you are ****, like me

, then you will pay about $200 to have the bumper removed and shot with paint and clear coat and then put back on the car. Don't let someone try to paint it on the car. Oh my...someone did that on my old Maxima and let's just say my muffler turned the color of my car because of he overspray

Figure on about $50 to do yourself and about $200 to have it done by a professional.
