you did a great job!!!!!!
I think if you give it some time to cure and then repolish and wax you'll never be able to tell you did a repair.....coool!!!
if not....when it gets warmer....just hit it with a couple coats of clear and then wet sand and polish and wax...If I were you I'd just leave it alone....looks real good as it is...and besides, who's gonna see it when you go by at 120 mph!!!! it will just be a bluuurrrrrrrrrrrrr [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img] <font color=blue>2old4this</font color=blue>

I noticed a rather large scuff (1"x2")on my front right bumper almost at the wheel well, almost under the car. What should I do? Cost effectively???

You can't tell its there, but for a slight decrease in depth of reflection. I match the color by air brushing touch-up paint. But the depth just isn't a deep. I'm happy with the way it came out, and for 15 bucks you can't tell I even kissed a curb!
