Got backed into!DAMN IT!

Well it had to come someday...I was hoping it to be at LEAST a year before it happened tho. It happened in a parking lot when I was inside the store so i dont kno who did it. Its isolated on the passenger side of the bumper. Theres one large patch of scratches. Then there are about 5 spots where paint was scraped off.

My question is: Can I have a shop fix it (but only to the bumper)? And how much would a shop charge for this?

Thank you

if its just paint and no actual damage like dents etc, then they just repaint it. Shouldn't cost more than $100-200.

I got my bumper fixed/repainted for $125 flat here in South FL. Should be around the same range.

Thanks I appreciate it. I just bought some polishing clothes, foam applicators, and Meguirers Scratch X. Lot of u guys said it works so I'll give it a try and use some touch up paint. I also saw this stuff G27 scratch remover( i think thats what its called?) Its been on infomercials. I was tempted to get that cus it costed more then Meguiers but whatever. Has anyone used that stuff or kno what im talking about?

How should i go about using touch up paint? Heard it can be tricky so any advice would be superb.

Apply thin coats and let each coat dry for about 15-20 minutes before applying another one. Make sure you dont blob it on, use even brush strokes.
