Default Melted paint on back bumper, pls help!

Hey guys...

I've had the same catback on for probably 20k, I check the car this morning and paint has melted on the underside of the back bumper . It looks as though the tips shifted to a resting position on the bumper.

I don't know much about paint. Right now there are two burn faded lines on the underside of the bumper that do not look pretty!

Is there any thing I can do to patch it up aside from just buying some touch up paint? Should I try to sand it down at all?

if it was my car i would repaint the whole bottom part of that bumper with the ceta mod lol. but thats just me. if your looking to keep it one color i would sand it down and reshoot the bottom or reshoot the whole bumper but u could touch it up if it doesnt bother u that much.

if you know of a good painter ask if he can "spot" in the base color and then reclear the whole thing. if not then i would get the entire thing repainted. BTW if you wanted to try to sand it do it with some 1500-2000 and then 3000 then buff the area. sanding might not work but its worth a shot.
