Hit my rear bumper

[chanmazda3]

Ok so i was backing up and hit my rear bumper against the wall :bang. now the good thing is it dint dent my bumper. bad thing is paint is off :flaming and there is 1 big scratch. how much will it cost me to either blend the paint or get it repainted:(.

Got pictures? Perhaps its not as bad as it sounds and the damage is only on the clearcoat.

If you are going to get it repainted, I got quotes of ~$250 or so to paint my rear bumper.

yeah the clear coat is gone and its not too bad but its quite noticable. i just need about 5-10cm of paintwork. will post the pics soon

+1

This sounds about right. Get it repainted. A reblend won't look as good.

i say just use paint pen or something... if it's not TOO bad.

and.. next time some idiot rear ends you.. get a new rear bumper.

You can try a heavy duty wax compound(ScratchX 2.0/Meguars Ultimate Compound), or use some VERY wet VERY light grit sandpaper to remove the scratches.(Lots of DIY pages online) But if you don't know what you're doing, I would suggest going to someone for a repaint. (Ie. Unibody)
