A lot of guyz on dis' forum are goin wit' what I think is Automotivetouchup.com Touch Up Paint, Aerosol Spray Paint and Paint Touch Up Accessories... Do it yurself and I think it's more cost effective..
That site that I referenced may not be correct, but I'm shua someone can chime in and give you the proper website. Good luck wit'it..

check out your local autozone or parts shop for a bumper repair kit form bondo. really easy to use. i used that + sanded + painted + cleared my bumper and you can't even tell there was a hole.

get the paint and stuff from the above site^

That is the paint site I turned everyone on to. I have been using them for years with all my touch ups. You will need your paint code and/or year make and model. Base coat is bout $20 a can, and clear is bout $15 a can. Buy both together so paints dont clash. Prep part by sanding with 400 grit, wax and tar remover clean it, base coat paint 2_3 coats, then clear 2_3 coats. Color sanding is not needed, but is up to you. Good luck

Awesome thanks appreciate it! How much can a can spray. because i have more parts i want to use, but i may just buy a pint of paint and get it professionally done.

Thanks again,
Shaun
