would it cover it up well? or would you be able to see where you have touched it up??

cause the paints flaked off, your basically missing one (or more) layers (s) of paint. a touch up pen will put paint back on where it has flaked off but you're almost certainly still gonna see it imo.

any pics? unless you get the bumper/area re-sprayed your still going to see the difference i think. plus the colour match of the pen to your paint may not be 100%

matt balck sparay paint? dont quite think a "touch up" will quite do it, take the bumper off and respray all of it, or just buy a new one there quite cheap.

haha theres not much chance of me respraying it, it might be the perfect excuse to get it colour coded

looks like the bumpers been re-sprayed before m8. the grey bits on mine are just plain plastic, no paint at all on them. just use some mat black spray, or some satin black to give it that just polished kind of look.
