    I've had good luck with automotivetouchup.com for factory paint. If you give them the paint code used I'm sure they can match it. Or you could go to a local paint supply store and have them mix it up for you on the spot.

        I bought the automotivetouchup Titanium Silver (354) spray can, and the color match is pretty good. However, most spray clear coats lack luster and clarity. I tried refinishing my bumper, and it didn't come out great. I ended up buying a Euro front bumper to replace it.

        If I was on a budget, I would do the body work myself. I'd fill all the scratches, sand down the bumper, finish it in primer and bring it over to Maaco. They'll paint a bumper for $150-200 and it will be presentable.

          Most acrylic clears require a compound + polish to get rid of the severe orange peel out of the can. I'd recommend Spraymax 2K clear coat. Pricey stuff, but much more durable than acrylic and a decent shine straight out of the can, almost like pro paint jobs

            I used spray cans that they mixed for me. Also used the spraymax 2k clear and it looks really good for a rattle can job. The clear is the important part, don’t use junk one part clear out of a can, use a two part like the spraymax and don’t forget to wear a respirator.

              This man is correct. The spraymax 2k is the way to go if doing a large area. However, practice before you shoot your bumper as this will run like crazy for the uninitiated.

                You guys have me going back and forth!

                I can do this whole thing myself and it will be pretty good.. or no, just prep it and have a pro paint it and clear coat!
