Sorry, but

If the paint has transferred to the bumper probably just a white touch up pen (the automotive type) should do the trick.....we do this to the fleets at work, every, um, now and then!

My dh is a car spray painter (automotive cosmetic surgeon he says). I'll ask him tonight cause there's a product at super cheap u can get but I can't remember the name

**Kazbah** · February 10th, 2011, 01:39 PM

OneLittlePrincess - thankyou!!!!

**ladybird11** · February 10th, 2011, 01:41 PM

Polish should get it off......

**kimmi** · February 10th, 2011, 01:51 PM

BUff it out first... You may not need any repainting.

**Kazbah** · February 10th, 2011, 01:53 PM

ummm how do I buff it out? Is that like, find a hot guy?

**Ozziehoffy** · February 10th, 2011, 01:53 PM

I agree with M2R... if it's just paint, then a polish should... however it might be worth looking at getting the stuff OLP is talking about... I worked in automotive for a few years but can't think of it either lol. Whatever you do, you just need to be careful that the clear coat doesn't get lifted off the white paint otherwise it's going to age and damage the paint under it.

**sloane** · February 10th, 2011, 01:55 PM

i second the buffing - a good cut & polish gets rid of alot of those sorts of marks. so i've heard

**1MOREPLZ** · February 10th, 2011, 02:00 PM

oops is all i can say.....because i have done the same thing at work...

**appletree** · February 10th, 2011, 02:07 PM

PMSL, i think we have the same KFC near us! I don't actually go to KFC since we got a new car... LOL. Hope you can get it out!

**Queen** · February 10th, 2011, 02:49 PM

You can buy cut/polish from car sections(big w/kmart etc), you use that like

Karate Kid wax on wax off

You can use an electric one but elbow grease does the same...
I also have done this my white car Vs a Green post

**Netix** · February 10th, 2011, 06:25 PM

I wanted the "yeah that" smilie, but its gone! So, yeah that, what Queen said.

And I love the ninja smilie! Ya win some, ya lose some.

Use a soft cloth (like an old cloth nappy or two) with the cutter and polish, and all should be good, unless there are scratches through the paint. That might need a pen... Or, if you really love your 'lux and its beyond paint pen, there are guys who come out to you and touch up painted bars. They're at car yards all the time.

Good luck.
