Default How to paint a bumper?

I just got my LOD front bumper and DHL dropped it during the course of delivery and banged up a corner pretty bad. I should be able to use a hammer to bang out the corner and then file down the rough spots. What sort of paint should I use to touch it up? Do I need to sand the area? Thanks for any help!

I used Rustoleum flat black brush on paint to touch my LOD bumper up after DHL did the same thing to it.

I called DHL... they blew me off. I called LOD... and they pretty much blew me off. It would be a long time to get a replacement. I was not happy. I figured I'd be the one busting up my bumper, not some low wage worker.

Since they want to play that way, did you order with a credit card? If so, you may have options.

DHL Is ass wipes, my brother is still fighting a damage claim, They busted it and dont want to cover there own insurance that you pay for.. MAKE THEM REPLACE IT OR CALL THE ATTORNEY GENEREL'S OFFICE AND FILE A CLAIM. THEY WILL GET RESULTS... Dont just let them get away with it, thats why these companys are rich CRAP ON THE LITTLE GUY
