Default 2011 Accord SE -White paint...

So I got a new lease, and living in brooklyn -where many people dont care about others- i have gotten a few scratches on my bumpers. My idea was to use -believe it or not- WHITE OUT! when i tell this to friends they think im crazy but they never have another suggestion to solve my problem.

please tell me what you think of my idea and/or any of your ideas
Thanks

Don't use wite-out. It won't stand up to weather, rain, salt, crud, etc...

Touch-up paint. Dealer sells it in little bottles like fingernail paint with a brush in the cap.

Auto-body supplies stores can mix up paint for you. Places like AutoZone probably sell common colors "DupliColor" is one brand.

Some scratches will probably come out with polishing compound.

And check over in the "Detailing" board.

Sure, any dealer.

What kind of car-parts chain stores you have in the area?
AutoZone
Parts-America
Pep-Boys
OReileys
etc...

Look up "automotive paint" in the phone book for shops that sell paint to auto-body shops. There's several around here that will mix up small batches.
