Best way to touch up bumper....

I unfortunately have a pretty long scratch on my bumper from being banged into in my parking lot. Is there a canned spray out there to cover up scratches on my rear bumper that would come out somewhat decent.....I would hate to go to an auto body and pay something rediculous. Thanks Guys!

Depends on how deep the scratch is. Surface scratches can sometimes be buffed out to blend back in.
Scratches with any "depth" to them can be difficult. Brush on Touch up paint can work on smaller spots. Not usually good on larger areas.

there are touch up services available at most detail shops, or like George suggested, depending on the scratch!

it wasn't much, but just some guidance as I don't know your skill set for touch up and color match, then there's the clear coat, sanding buffing and polishing to be done
