ugh that happened to me. I must have been sleepy eyed drunk or something I backed in the wall in a parking garage lol.
Soon after I got smashed by someone running a stop sign so it got fixed "free". I'd expect around 300-500 for a repair on that.

No one else?
Please I don't want to pay 300-500. Is a fix with a 37j spray paint kit possible?

$500 to "Fix" it or $25 to spray it yourself and "Cover it up". Your choice.

FWIW...."Best" and "Cheapest" can rarely be used in the same sentence.

You could probably touch it up with paint but you might still be able to feel like marks if you run your hand across it.

By all means try it, it will only cost a can of rattle paint and clear. But when you are done and see how bad it looks you will realize even those few $ was a waste. Personally I would just leave it as is. Maybe fill in the black spots with touch up paint and use rubbing compound on any lighter scratches.

3-500 is a dirt cheap estimate, it runs right around 1000 to do a bumper repair at my shop especially with a three stage.
