If you have that many and they are al over the front bumper, you may want to just have it completely resprayed. If not, get the touch-up paint. Take the bumper off(not really hard at all) so that you can have the paint sit level versus running to the bottom of each divot.

After several thin coats of paint and the surface is now above the actual bumper, lightly sand the paint down w/ 1500-2000 grit. Buff out.

If it matters, Radley Collision on Rt 1 does my paint work.

Yeah Radley is a great shop, I've had them do some repairs on mine. They also do a heck of a detail job!

If you go to Radley, tell Robert(manager), Michelle, or Manie that Skip sent you. Tell them I'll be inspecting the finished product and watch them roll ttheir eyes!

898-4000 and then ask for collision. Robert is on vacation this week. Let me know if you need help taking the bumper off. It'll save you money if you decide to have them do the work.
