Removing Bumper Dents?
I just took off my front plate because I like the look. The license bracket left a couple of general dents which really bug me. I've used "paintless dent removal" on metal before, but wonder if those guys can do thier magic on bumpers.
Lastly, the removal left two paint scratches. Seems I saw something about an alternative to Nissan's touch-up paint, I.E., a marker or crayon which isn't so globby.

ive been working on this one for a few weeks now
im using a hair dryer to heat it up and just trying to work it out ive noticed some improvements in mine i dont expect to get it back perfect just less noticealbe
you might have luck with the same method but
i think with the front bumper you would have to take it off the get behind it.
if you dont want to try it yourself just a bodyshop could do it. they use the same method but they say it will burn the paint off and usually do to charege you for a repaint!

as for the the paint pen i tryed it . i think even it puts out too much paint . i use a toothpick on all scratches and dings i dot the scratch with just a little paint on the end of the toothpick then smooth it out with either my finger or the other end of the toothpick. its the best nethod ive seen yet and ive tried them all

I'm going to have the crease on my front bumper taken care of pretty soon hopefully. Can't notice it unless there's a really clear reflection over the crease. You can see how the light and reflections become "chopped" by the crease. It's a shallow one, I wonder if they could just fill it up with bondo and repaint the area... hmmm....

here is a pic i just took
you can tell its getting better
my bodyshop wanted over $250 to do it.
you can see that just working with it does help i even took the an ink pen and ran it up and down from the inside while having the hair dryer directly on the area.
