Not sure I like the black but guess it was the easiest fix to the problem.
Gouged / Scuffed rear bumper cheap fix
The previous owner of this car had hauled some stuff in the back and used the back bumper as a sliding rack or something...who knows what it was used for. Needless to say, it looked pretty bad.
So, on a nice sunny weekend and a can of standard gloss black auto paint from Autozone, some paint tape, sand paper, and filler, I spent about a half hour of work, a couple of hours of drying time, and the results are in these pics:

note: the mirrors were also done in this fashion...

I see your point about trying to match the silver. I guess black was tbe better way to go without paying an arm and a leg at a body shop.
So you would end up with cemented cracked paint?james said:ABS plastic pipe cement does a good job of repairing them.
