Rallye Red owners HELP

[Teknyx]

This happened the other night and I’m hoping I can touch this up? Or is this something a body shop needs to do? I backed up into a high curb. Does anybody know the paint I would need to use? And is it that simple? Or would I need a clear coat too??? Help

Those are deep scratches, they go past the paint and into the plastic bumper. Paint alone will not fix that.

Unless you can do your own body work, it'll be easiest and cheapest to replace the bumper and paint. However, you could be lucky and find someone parting out a red civic in your area on CL or Facebook.

How did you manage to do that by backing up in to a curb?
Seems like that would be the wrong end of the car to have sustained that damage.

It's on the bottom facing part of the bumper. Just leave it as it will happen again. Or put a cover on it, like black plastic/rubber paint to make it easy to patch up going forward

Gonna take a lot of those $15 touch up pens lol. I'd see if a shop can sand it down evenly and repaint it, hopefully less cost than a bumper.

I can safely say a Honda touch up pen won't work. They suck. At least the lunar silver is no match no matter how much shaking you do.
Plus ,as someone mentioned, that's to much damage for paint alone to fix.

First, I'll go to a body shop see what they charge to fix, report.
