Hi, I am no expert her but when I bought for mine, it was a can of base colour and a can of clear lacquer. The pair cost about £12, (eBay) may be a bit more now. You can also buy a kit of three which includes primer.

I use the base coat spray first then the clear and worked fine. I am not sure if it would be wise just to use the base coat, but again, I am no expert.

Good luck.

I'm no expert either - only repaired some scratches to a colored bumper 5 yrs ago and was satisfied with the result. I may have used lacquer, I can't remember.
I will keep you posted.

I have used 3M Acryl-Red Glazing Putty 05098 as the filler.
