Is this an easy touch up job?

[JFrost7]

Would I be able to just buy color coded paint and paint over it (prime, grit paper?), or would I have to get it done professionally? I guess the car got rear ended and we were too cheap to get a touch up so he just painted over it with any random white paint

Touch up paint is always going to be visible. I know Duplicolor makes a frost white aerosol spray that people have used for bumper resprays but I don't know how much flex agent is in those cans. That would be what makes or breaks the viability.

Honestly, I would respray them. For less than $100 you can do both yourself.

You'll want to sand them down to remove the blemishes, and use adhesion promoter, a flex agent, primer, paint and clearcoat.

This was all done just with spraypaint.

Here's an example of taking my black DX bumper and spraying it Frost White.

I forget it I uploaded photos on my MRT when I did my bumpers and mirrors a few weeks ago. I'd tape off the lights and get an aerosol can of paint mixed up, along with the adhesive promoter and the clear-coat to finish it up. Spray around the areas and it should look pretty good. I fixed some rough parts like that and it looks pretty good, probably 9/9.5 out of 10 IMO.

I didn't have to take off the bumpers. It's up to you how much time you want to spend on it, but Mike's way will look better

Sounds good guys, I checked out how you did your mirrors @Scolirk, & I have to say, they look great!

Would a can of duplicolor frost white do fine, or should I purchase a can from http://www.automotivetouchup.com/? Also, do I use 1000 or 800 grit sandpaper?

I thought that too, but you really do need to get the exact paint code. I'd try to find a store in your area that does paint because they'll be able to match the colour with the factory it was made to give you the exact shade of white.

I'm not sure if they have Sherwin-Williams out where you are, but they mix car paint in my area. I ended up going to a pool supply store to get the paint done.

Duplicolor makes Frost White in the "Perfect Match" cans and touch up bottles. You'll probably find it at most automotive parts stores that sell paint.

I get mine at Canadian Tire.

That's what I used to paint the bumper pictured above.

From looking at your pic, it looks like your front bumper, may just have scuff marks on it. If so, those will buff with rubbing compound (wax afterwards). Unless, if it has some other scratches, then you may want to respray it. Looks like the back will need to be sprayed. Keep us posted on how it turns out!
