If you can get your finger nail in it....there is no fix unless you get the whole bumber sprayed.

Best you can do is touch up paint, followed by some buffing and waxing.

Hmm I see...btw this isnt the bumper; its the rear 1/4 panel area on the left side, which is why it sucks and i dont wanna paint it

yea I'll just try to get some paint and do the best I can...the touch up paint was way off...(silverstone is WV2 i hope)

Anyway thanks for the replys...

Success with touch-up paint is a art. I use a base coat of white appliance enamel, followed by Nissan touch-up paint. You can experiment with several methods for best results.
