Im goint to tell you what I do----------Touch up paint, and Sharpie......I suck with the touch up paint, but I am a Sharpie master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lost sleep at night thinking about the scratch I have underneath the car........I destroyed a pair of slacks, and spilled paint all over my shoes trying to touch up my side mirror after the sun had set......You should have seen me I was so stupis, with a flashlight in hand........Spilled the paint all over my clothes, shoes..........

It kills me!
Today I hit a puddle that was 9 -12 inches deep on the front right side, destroyed the front right bumper---(by destroyed I mean that underneath its all scratched up and missing paint............I feel like crying........of course like someone said, the only way you know its there is if you got down on your knees......still it fn makes me crazy.

dings and dents bother me, but scratches, not so much.

I'm with you on this blink, but I wouldn't worry about a little scratch in the plastic. Let alone contemplate replacing the bumper because of it, lol.

I hear you. It's just frustrating knowing the only way to "fix" the scratch is by replacing the bumper essentially.
