Fixing paint chips on '09 rear bumper?

Post by bcyr »

Hi, my '09 Vibe has a couple small chips in the paint on the rear bumper. It looks like the paint is almost peeling off like a skin. Does anyone have any advice on how to paint chipped spots on the bumpers? it looks like the paint itself doesn't hold on to the bumper, but is more of a skin coating it, and that skin has been "punctured". Im afraid any attempt to paint the exposed spots will not keep the edges of the chip from peeling further away from the damaged spot.

You really don't want to see a close-up of my front bumper and hood....If it's really bad, sand and repaint. Otherwise just get a small bottle of touch-up paint.
