Marc--

I agree with Jeff S. that contacting GoWesty is a good idea. I contacted
them for tips on touch up for my bumpers and they recommended a Krylon with
a crinkle finish. BUT they also said they were "experimenting" with what
works best. So maybe in the meantime they have come up with something
better.

I only had to touch up two super small spots that the paint missed in
manufacturing and it was on the "inside" of the bumper not on the outside
where it would be seen. So I just used some Rustoleum that I put on with a
brush. But again I was just covering a spot on the unseen inside.

Here's the link they sent me for the Krylon
