Re: touch up paint - be careful

A couple of thoughts:
1) If the scratch has gone through the clear lacquer and colour coats to expose the black plastic material the bumper is made from - then I have had good results using the Saab touch-up paint.
Don't use the Saab supplied brush though - it is usually far to wide and you just end up making a real mess (I wonder how he knows that then??) - shake the paint stick well and use a Sewing needle to apply the paint - one 'blob' at a time - straight into the scratch, it takes patience but you can make a very neat job - virtually invisible.
2) If the scratch hasn't gone all the way through to the black base bumper i.e. the scratch is Gray all the way to the bottom of the groove - then polishing it out is the best way to go - here in the UK we can buy colour impregnated polish - albeit not from Saab and these work well.
Hope this helps.
