Unhappy Who's idea was it to put the planters there anyway?

Ok so I found out the hard way that the rear bumper of the '04 Civic just snaps in place, but I still have a nice little gash from griding into a brick planter... it's like 3 inches by 4 inches.

So my questions are... if i have a gash that small, is a bodyshop gonna have to re-paint the whole thing? And was 'Nighthawk Black Pearl' used before this year? I wanna make sure it's not gonna be hard to come by or take a while to order.

Most likely repaint, and then it would have to be colormatched/blended to look good. They can't just put a little paint on the bad spot.

Was afraid of that. My car guy gave me a number and the autobody guy is staying 2 hours late so that he can look at it... (I live 2 hours from my job)

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough
the only way to make it look likenothing ever happened is a repaint. It sounds fairly deep so do it right the first time.
