Default need help, touch up paint and nose realignment

i need some exact match silver paint for my 86 z28. i have a few chips in the paint, but i also rear ended a truck tonight at about 3mph, so i have a few scratches on the nose now that i need to attend to. it also pushed the nose down and inward. how do i go about bringing it back to where its supposed to be? i saw some screws on the top just inside the hood, is that where i can move it back out? what about pushing it back up?

Good luck on touching up silver. Metalics dont set right unless sprayed so the colors will look off.
Your header may be cracked. The part that holds the lights and bumper cover. There are brakets near the center. Remove the panel in between the front of the cover and the radiator suport and you can see them. loosen bolts and nuts and try to fit it.

i got it mostly aligned up now, back to a bit better than it was when i got the car. i got most of the scratches out with some rubbing compound. im going to try and get one of those flitz things and see if i can buff out the rest of it.
