Darn garage!

So I unfortunately have a knick on my rear bumper (where the bumper applique goes; I could buy one and just cover it, but the applique is so ugly) and I'm going to get a small bottle of touch-up paint from the dealer when I take my car in for its 5000. Has anyone used it and how effective was it? A small bottle was like 8 bucks so it's nothing pricey but if it doesn't work... Also anyone who has used it for a little scratch, can you take a nice picture of it?

yea the touch up paint is effective, i bought one wen i got the car for 4£ which is 8$, i had recently got a scrape along my front bumper from shopping trolleys (dont let me catch that person cos they will die) so i touched it up, not as noticable from a distance but for small nicks it is very gd...

There's a stainless applique from zeta products that may suit you better. I haven't tried it, I put the honda one on before I knew it existed. Here's a direct link:
