    right lads sum body parking hit the front left side of my bumper destroyed it in blue paint but they managed to scratch my paint off :( the part that is damaged was sprayed silver but not smoothed.

    is there any way i can just buy touch up paint and cover it up rather then an expensive respray :/

    Not really, people who spray over damage to touch it up inevitably end up making it look a million times worse than it is. Have a look in my signature for what it takes to fix a bumper scuff properly, then maybe talk to a SMART repairer if there's one close to you. It could be as cheap to fix as 100 Euro professionally, going to Halfords could cost you up to 50 Euro by the time you buy stuff like aerosol primer, aerosol base coat, aerosol lacquer, sandpapers, fillers, and it still won't look right.
