    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.

    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.

  6. 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.
