What do I do now?
 

I always park in the middle of no where so that nothing ever happens. Inevitably, someone must have parked behind me. Or I could have been half retarded somewhere along the lines and not known about it.

I need to know how to go about fixing this? This looks pretty f'd up in my opinion. Like I feel like I can see the body below. This is on the bumper below the trunk, left of the license plate.

I feel so upset right now because I noticed it now. It feels deep.

Help :c

Your choices are get it repainted, or try your hand at touch up paint.

Touch up paint won't look good, so you could just live with it. The bumper's plastic so nothing's going to rust.

If you want to go the opposite direction, you can get the entire car wrapped in vinyl to cover it. Or, find a fun sticker that you won't mind sitting on your bumper.

Yikes. I'll have some local body shops take a look at it tomorrow.

Anyone have an idea of what something like this will cost to have corrected?

Thanks.

200-400 dollars, probably. The lowest end would be Maaco, and they're around 200. Private shops will be more expensive, but you won't have to worry about it coming out terribly.

A good detailer should be able to take care of this for you as well. If say 200-300 is a good estimate. Good luck!

That's clearly through the paint. A detailer can clean up the area where there's still paint, but that's down to the plastic.

put a sticker over it and call it a day

Most detailers do touch ups as well from what I've seen.

Well. Better news. Went out earlier and took a toothpick and a microfiber to see the damage. Turns out that dark grayish area was their paint. It's still badish but not noticible at all. A sticker would hide it completely. It honestly has rolls in it like if you rolled a dime across the paint as if it was drying.

Use some touch up to fill the rolls and give her a good buff. You will still know it is there but 98% of the other people looking will never even notice.

8-1200 depending on the shop and what they actually do, its right around a grand for a generic bumper repair at my shop but we are a more high end shop.

MAACO does quality work man. I had them paint my 300zx TT and they even sprayed the entire underside of my car and exhaust for free for no additional charge.

$1000 to respray a bumper?!

You need to find a new shop...

I'm surprised they missed the windows and tail lights.

No worries, they didn't completely miss the tail lights, got the reverse lights and the edges of the tails.

They did a great job of colour matching my rims and tires once many decades ago. When I complained they cleaned up the rims and had the tires turned around. Not balanced or anything just turned around.

Ha ha success! well you do get what you pay for. Can't say I was expecting a spectacular job, and honestly it looked pretty amazing right after it was done, other than the overspray, 6 months later though the paint looked like absolute dog shit however lol.

It was my 58 Chevy wagon I had done and the only reason I had it painted was to cover the horrid lime green that the previous owner had painted it so I could sell it for more. Saw it about 12 years later and it still looked really good. The guy only drove it to car shows mind you so it wasn't exactly hard time.

Same reason I painted mine too, but I decided to keep it longer then expected. Unfortunately the buyer didn't care for the overspray too much.

that's what it costs man sounds like you need to find a new shop, there is a reason my customers come to my shop they want a perfect job and that's what we turn out at all of my locations.

Might be different across the pond but in the UK you're looking at about £200 max to redo a bumper, which is about $350 with the current exchange rate

Just for a respray of the bumper?? I got mine resprayed for a little under 500 anymore than 600 sounds like way to much especially for the bumper.

there is a reason my company does the type of cars we do, is there shops out there that will do it for $600 yes but it will also look like that. and chances are they aren't doing full restorations on enzo's and having Ferrari recertify the car.

I'm waiting for something like this to happen.

Anyone have experience with this product?

I do it with regular paint and clear coat, build it up fill the chip then melt it all in with a buffer

every car leaves my shop with the same quality job Ferrari or ford fiesta my shops name is on the job and it will go out perfect.

And if I were using someone else's insurance to pay for my paint job, I'd gladly take it there. :lol:
