Any easy way to fix this?
 

Recently I got my car back from the body shop and they lost my left sidemarker. I put tape over the opening(dumb idea I know) until I could buy a replacement. Today when I went to install the sidemarker, I peeled off the tape and the paint ended up coming off with it.

Would there be any simple way to fix this by myself? If I have to, I'll take it to a body shop to get it professionally repaired but I really don't want to spend a lot for something this small.

They didn't use the proper prep for a raw plastic bumper. I'm assuming it was replaced either by them, or previously. This is really common. There are very particular procedures and materials that need to be used to guarantee proper adhesion on raw plastic parts

Or in other words, that shop is shady as fuck and I hope you didn't pay them.

Did that body shop work on the part of the car where the paint peeled off .. ??

If so, I'd take it back to them and ask them to fix it (make it right).

They lost the marker and you bought a replacement? They screwed up the paint prep and you are going to pay for repairs?
Hold them responsible. If they will not make it good talk to your local Better Business Bureau. All of these issues are on them.

it all depends on what they charged him for, and if he went through his insurance and they saved his deductible.

They still lost a part of his car. No excuses that I can come up with let them off the hook.

to be honest most body shops will have the sidemarker fall off after they fix it, once you pull them they do not sit back in the bumper. Insurance companies will not pay you for new ones because you say they will fall out, you have to wait until they fall out to then charge them for the side markers. the smart move is to just break a tab off them if you're the shop.

It did not fall off. It was lost by the shop while repairs were being made.

Im with Tcoat on this. You puting tape over the hole or not. The tape should not peal up the paint. It was shoddy work done by them. Take it back or get your money back preferably and take it somewhere that knows what the fuck they are doing.

yea i misread that they lost it thats my bad

Yeah this was a new bumper that they painted. Colorwise the paint was good but I'm a bit disappointed the paint peeled off just from some tape

Yeah I was pretty annoyed. Especially when they tried telling me that the sidermarker wasn't on the car when it came in. I didn't feel like arguing so I just took the car and ordered a nice clear set.

i means the rest is gonna come off shortly that bumper is not sanded.
