Had a stupid accident taking my car off ramps over the weekend and managed to chip and scratch the nearside rear bumber surface - photos 1+2 show the chip to the paint and photo 3 shows (not very clearly in the centre of the photo) very fine scratches to the top coat. I don't want to take the route of a re-spray for now and want to fix via touch-up etc - can I have some advice please?
How should I tackle the chip? The plastic is slightly scuffed to add, as you can see close-up. The fine scratches haven't gone down to the platsic but are deep enough to be holding grime. I tried using a heavy-grade polish but obviously more work is needed. I thought about using very fine emery paper but also don't want to make things worse. For the chip I'm thinking to smooth down, then with a fine paint brush apply grey base-coat, then matt-white then top coat (149/Polar White).
