how to paint? - Toyota Yaris Forums

hey ppl,
recently some idiot hit the rear bumper of my car (barcelona red) n took a bit of the paint off it, its shorter than an inch. anyways. the black bumper is now visible its clear that the paint has gone.
anyways i didnt not get the touch up pen with my car so i went back to the dealer but they said they dont sell any. i had to get it repainted which would cost me a fortune. so they recommended me an autoshop where i could buy the perfect matching paint, which i did. the thing is, its not a pen.. its a can filled with paint.
can anyone please tell me how should i apply the paint properly to the affected area of my car? i know i will not get 100% result of the job but just good enough so that its not noticible n cover the area? what do i need? n how should i do it?
thanks...

Surprised the dealer doesn't carry touch-up paint. Anyway, sounds like you're happy with the outcome.
