fixable damage?

[conthedon]

In another thread I stated I'm unsure how I did this damage to a recently repainted bumper/spoiler as I didn't notice hitting anything, and it is in an odd location (on a top flat portion of the body kit as opposed to the front to under the body kit lip) so I asked what this could be. One suggested it was a curb rash. is there anyway to fix? I was thinking maybe compound to get any marks off and, touch up paint and clear coat on top?

There's no real way to fix it without a repaint. You could do what you said...touch up paint and some clear. You can blend it with some fine grit sandpaper like 1500 and 3000 afterwards...but it will always look like a repair.

I wouldn't compound that area at all though. You could potentially make it worse. Clean it up with some thinner, alcohol, or acetone, and go straight to touch up.

Then touch up should do the trick. :xyxthumbs:

I didnt clear coat because I want to polish the area , n touch up a lil more since I can get it better when spring comes around.
