Honda Car Forum

hi, i have a 2004 honda pilot and some idiot scraped my bumper. And now
there is a line about 10 cm long and the paint is all scraped off, the
black is showing. I tried using touch up paint but it won't cover up the
black. Does anyone have any ideas which can help me.

Time to buy a new car.

Agh, the agony of the first scratch on a new car, I remember mine well. I
have had very deep scrapes that exposed the black. However, I was able to
cover it up with touch up paint. Try doing several layers of touch up paint.
Maybe do a layer a day until it covers up the black.

Bumper covers are *incredibly* easy to refinish for cheap.

Just take it to a good body shop.

I had a woman back into my car and crunch the fender and really gouge
the bumper cover. I was sure the cover would have to be replaced, but
the body shop specified a repair. (I'm very familiar with the body shop
I used.) When I got it back, you couldn't tell it had ever been damaged.

my pilot is a silver colored one, so its very hard to cover up the black
part of my scraped bumper. Is there anything else i can get to cover up
the black part of the scraped off paint.
