Hey guys not sure if in the right section but i have these massive scratches on the black strips of my bumper ('89' da9) and im wondering if it is possible to renew them some how. I have tryed using wet'n'dry but it just leaves a white mark around the scratch. If you have any suggestions can you please let me now

theres a paint called bumper bar black they sell in a can at supercheap auto
i used that on my front lip... came up very nice, and i've scratched the lip again and the paint hasnt flaked or nothing
if like mine u have deep scratches and that then use the bumper bar prime first... it fills in the imperfections and that.. then lightly sand it
both cans are right next to each other in the spray section
bumper bar prime and bumper bar black

1. Buy JDM Side Moldings
2. Respray Black - Sandpaper down so there smooth and primer/paint
3. Respray Colour Coded - Same as above.

*EDIT* Or for a quick fix...Use the black tire spray you normally spray your tires with...you can use it on black plastic's aswell.

took your advice and resprayed them in the bumper black. Looks way better now. Looked so good decided to respray my front lip and door mouldings as well. Thanks
