I totally get it. It really does suck. At the same time realize that if you just touch it up, YOU will be the ONLY one that can see this.
I had a mustang cobra that a lady backed into. I got the dent fixed by a good friend who is AMAZING at dent removal here in San Diego. I was going to paint the whole bumper from the left over scratch. It was about 4 inches long on the seam. He is literally the best paint/body guy I have ever met. He looks at me and says, "Brian, you're crazy! You're really going to spend $500 to fix this?" It got me thinking. It's a car. I followed his advice and just filled the scratch with paint. It's been 5 years. The current owner and I are still good friend and he has never noticed it.
It's just one of those "things." At the time it happens, it blows! I'll say the same thing to you. You are CRAZY if you want to paint the whole bumper for that. Throw some paint on it and I can pretty much promise you that you will be the only one to see it. It really is a car! Enjoy it! Only alternative is to park it so it stays nice. I love my car and I love driving! It will get flawed and I will have a GREAT time!
Sorry it happened, man. :happy0180:
