Default Paint + little accident

Well it was a fun day at the arcade and my friend decided to be an *** to my other friend by driving around the parking lot and not letting him in. He couldn't break in time and swerved and pretty much scraped the paint off the right side of the front bumper. He wants to get a silver can of spray paint and just, paint it down, but I told him to stop and wait for a reply from you guys . I was thinking about just finding some primer since it was a greyish-silver car anyways. Any ideas?

Specs : Toyota Celica '94 coupe
Color: Silver

Duplicolor will work the best, but NOTHING will come close to a body shop doing a touch up on it. Your friend was a ***** for doing that, so you should be a ***** and make him pay to get it fixed the correct way.

The scratch is pretty big not the same as the ones in the picture.

Im not completely sure how good it would look since the scratch is bigger... you could try it and if it doesnt work than take it to the body shop

Well it depends on how good of a friend he is. I honestly dont let anyone drive my car. Just becase my friends are idiots, and lack respect for their own stuff, as well as other peoples. They also have NO IDEA how much stuff for cars costs, what it does, or how to install it. Thats why i have to take my car to a tranny shop, if i had a few buddies help it would be cool, but their car knowlegdge is limited........for ex......they think its cool my car makes a "PSSHHHT" sound, but have no idea why it does it.
