Default Color matched bumper applique ??

Do these exist?

I recently had some slight paint damage along the edge of the bumper deck. Will be turning the car in to lexus, and do not want to be charged. I know there is a clear bumper applique, but are there color matched opaque bumper appliques that could be used to conceal this paint damage?

Thanks.

Maybe a touch up paint pen from automotivetouchup.com will suffice to fill and cover the scratch... it's also cheaper than buying a bumper applique

thx. i tried the touchup pen...

SFP owners might agree -- they shouldnt even sell touch up paint for starfire white pearl. the touchup paint actually stands out to the naked eye MORE than the actual scratch or grit.

I have never seen one. It probably would't match well just like the touch up paint.

Have to take in consideration the clear coat as well so it's not going to be a perfect match regardless of the touch up paint used.
