Hey Bling Gurus,
Did I get a defective bottle or does Honda's NFR touch up paint dry darker than the original NFR color?
I bought Dupli-color's touch up kit which included: wet sand paper, primer and clear coat kit. Having followed the instructions to a t, the result is a deep dark line across the scratch. Definitely worst than had I left things well enough alone.
Any advice besides getting the whole front bumper repainted (which is what I'm ready to do)?

no personal experience with this, but have heard it before- both red and blue.
depends on how deep the scratch is...
if its down to the metal, forget it! (time for a pro painting)
if not to the metal, you can prob polish it out. good tips here (and they would apply in your situation with your touch-up):

if you will likely have it repainted anyway, no harm in giving it a try yourself with some aggressive polishing!

Got a quote for $150 to repaint the whole bumper so I'll try out your tip first.
