Red face scuffed the bottom of my bumper what touch up method

Okay guys..this is for my girls stang but never the less asking you guys..shes got one of the metalic teal green stangs and she scrapped the lower almost underneath of the bumper to the fiberglass and its showing white scratches, its about 3" wide and 4" long...I have the touchup spray paint in the can for the car but would like to know what way I should apply it? should I brush it into the scrape with a 1" brush and spray the paint into the cap to get a good amount? directly spray it a few times to cover it? or what...dont have the $$$ to get the bumper done again so just hiding the scratch. any suggestions?

If its under the car, just leave it, otherwise, I'd hit it with a brush. Anything else well just be a mess.

well its up high enough to see it the mustangs got the curved nose so that you can see it if you are looking at the lower part of the bumper..so just trying to hide it..okay brushing it in sounds good to me...

Tape off an area sand it and shoot it with the can then wet sand it all smooth again and polish that's what I would do anyway

If it's showing white, it may only be the clear coat that's scuffed. That's the way mine was and a little bit of polishing compound was all it took to fix it up.
