I was driving, the other day, on the interstate and the car in front of me kicked up a rock. It went off the center traffic barrier and careened off my left rear quarter panel, leaving an inch and a half long scratch in the paint, exposing the base metal. I am planning on getting the front lip of the front bumper painted in the spring. (I got a little too close to the curb when parking my car the second week I had it. I used to have a Ford Explorer and did not have to worry about ground clearance). And now am going to get the scratch repaired at the same time. However, is there something I can use now as a quick fix, so the scratch is not exposed over the winter?

Ouch. Clean it, then use touch up paint for now. Hopefully, the shop can sand it out and repaint it whole again.

Yes, touch up paint, you can get it in pens or bottles w/ paintbrush from courtesyparts.com

Also try this out, worked wonders for me www.langka.com

How well did that blob stuff work jinx? I was thinking about getting some too, but I wanted to hear your opinion on it first.

How much should a bumper repaint cost also?

Buddy--it works GREAT. I got the kit w/ the card, the sealant etc. It will however take me years to fix all the dings etc but it does work good....

It does what it claims to do. But it is far from perfect. Langka is basically works as a paint thinner, it dissolves the excessive paint while leaving adequate paint to fill in the scratch.
