I need to do some touch up to my front bumper it has a few nicks in it. Anyway how warm does it need to be to do it? Say like 60 degrees or so is that warm enouch? Also do I need to put clear coat on where I did the touch up?

And has anyone used this? I saw it in a car magazine they said it worked well.

to me it looks like your paying $15 to make sure you don't mess up

touch up paint can be tricky to apply...some use the brush that come w/ those nail-polish sized, others recomment the end of a matchstick, and others prefer the o-so-long toothpic method.

all in all, the surface is say bigger than a cell phone button can stick out, so that $15 may be a good investment to make sure everythings flat, as an alternative to wet-sanding...
