lol i went to walmart and i bought a car paint pen yesterday.
I did a little bit on my scratch and it doesnt even match my car.

then last night i look into this website http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ and i found exact OEM infiniti g35 code colors and they have pens for it and stuff but not sure if its gonna work and turn out glossy

Not really much you can do if its thru the clear . Repaint or try to hide it a lil with touchup paint . Next time put towels over the end of the bumper before pulling it down .
