   well when i had the badges on the side bump strip filled it was repsrayed in satin black. I personally would sand them all down and spray satin black. No need for bumper care then

   my mate scraped a wooden post on the back passenger side of the bumper, left loads of paint from the post on the bumper... we used soapy water and a stanley knife blade to get it off.. looks like new

    The black strips are textured so I dont think you can raelly get it back the way it was, can do what has already been suggested (colour coding) or buy a new panel depends on how bad it really looks........ Pic????
