A lot of these guys use air brushes, so they can blend the paint on small scratches like yours.

Should I just touch-up the curb rash myself, and if so will it suffice to just hit it with the touch-up paint or should I also use a clear coat?

Almost all of them use an independant guy to so small paint touch ups.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This morning I dropped my daughters off at school and my wife and I went for breakfast at McDonalds in the P-Car. After Breakfast we went to Home Depot and while walking to my car after shopping I noticed significant curb rash on the front bumper cover. I immediately knew that it had occured while parking at McDonalds, yet I did not feel it and I thought that I had parked pleanty of distance from the curb. We drove back to the Mcdonalds parking spot, it was on the way home, and sure enough there was some of my paint on the curb.
I was, no make that still am very PISSED!!! The damage, while just a series of paint scrappes, is definitely noticeable just by looking at the front of the car. **ck!!! The fact that the bumper cover was near perfect makes this idiotic mistake all the worse.
As luck would have it I bought genuine Porsche touch-up paint last week to touch-up a chip that was on the car when I bought it. Should I just touch-up the curb rash myself, and if so will it suffice to just hit it with the touch-up paint or should I also use a clear coat? The damaged area is about 4"x2", all straight lines of varying length, but as I said quite noticeable on the face of the bottom lip of the bumper cover.
Any help would be truly welcome.
I don't think touch up paint will do the trick. It just depends on how deep the cuts are. 8 square inches is not enough for me to take it to a body shop though. It all depends on who you're trying to impress
I feel your pain. I bumped my garage a few weeks ago. Decided to do it right and have te front bumper repainted. And while I was at it, I had the rear bumper repainted as well.
$1600 later I am much more careful around my garage!
COntact a few of your local car dealers (they don't have to be Porsche dealers) and see when the paint touch up guy is going to be at their dealership. Almost all of them use an independant guy to so small paint touch ups. A lot of these guys use air brushes, so they can blend the paint on small scratches like yours. Stop buy and talk with him, see the kind of work he does, and get an estimate. Shouldn't be more that $200, IMO.
