For unsightly grazes and scrapes on a plastic bumper facelift E30....what do you guys reccommend/often use?

Halfords sell stuff which sounds about right...but I dont want patches of matt-black satin finish within my faded bumpers looking ridiculous!

Cheers

Got my bumpers to do, using plasticote satin black for bottom of rear end and the sills, going to be using plasticote on the actual bumpers too, bodycoloured so i need gloss black, rather than a satin or matt. going to be a nightmare.

ordering my touch up paint this week for the bodywork, good old paint4U on the internet, best place.
