My red C4 has a two-inch scratch (kind of a cut) in the front bumper (on the driver's side corner). I tried to touch it up with touch up paint, but it did not match. Now, I am trying to think of a way to hide the blemish. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
 
If your blemish is not directly on the corner how about the emblems offered from Corvette Central. They have ones that indicate 5.7 or tune port, LT1, Z07 and many others. They are applied with double face tape.

Pictures?
 
I had a gouge or cut or whatever on the front bumper of mine. The cut had a lip of sorts that had to be trimmed with a razor blade.

I then sanded the area down ( ONLY the cut and not he surrounding paint).

I primered it 3 times to build up the cut a bit.

Sanded again.

Painted with touch up paint from

www.paintscratch.com

and sanded with 600 grit and applied clear coat (supplied in the kit I bought) in two coats.

It looks pretty good now. I was not able to duplicate the exact pattern on the metal flake in the paint so that part is a bit off. Otherwise its impossible to tell from 10 feet away.
