Bumper scratch - best way to repair?

[jklondon]

Picked up a small scratch on rear bumper after a full weekend of driving, gone through plastic, small but annoying!

Can it be repaired to a high standard? Whats best way to do this?

Best way to deal with that is get a touch up pencil of the correct colour. Use a cocktail stick and gently fill the scratch. Dont go mad on the first go. Let it dry and then fill it again. The idea being to fill the void entirely upto the level of the original paint. Sounds hard but you will be surprised at the results. If you are not happy with your own efforts then its either a smart repair in the local area or get the whole bumper done which IMHO is massive overkill for that. Its annoying but nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks - yea I wanted to avoid the 'overkill' route and try something DIY. Is touch up paint OK to use on bumper, wasnt sure as its plastic rather than body work metal?
