Default Paint touch up+cracked bumper cover.

So my front bumper is cracked right in the middle but only on the top.it isn't fully to the bottom. I was wondering what would be the best way to fix it. I don't think I need to replace it because it's not all the way through.

Also, I have chips from gravel on the hood and front of the car. Where could I get some touch up paint or something.

Thanks!

You could get touch up paint for the chips, but don't expect miracles.

I used Dr. Colorchip for paint touch up and a jar sticker to cover a crack in my bumper.

You could buy the bondo bumper epoxy. I was able to fix very large holes that went through the bumper on my other cars. It is flexible, sandable, and paintable.

Look up your paint code in the drivers side door jamb.

I'd also pick up some running compound. The paint pen will over fill the chips. I use the rubbing compound to clean and smooth over the chip. Looks better but depending on the chip/scratch size it still isn't perfect. Then again I'm ocd.
