Someone was nice enough to leave these lovely marks on my rear bumper. i was hoping i could do SOMETHING with it instead of paying my 500 dollar deductible and turning it in to my insurance.any help would be appreciated : )

 

highly doubtful those look pretty deep

 

I doubt it. The last one looks like it's all the way through the paint.

 

Yup thats bare plastic, That is a very easy fix for a body shop though. I love getting work in like this. lol Some of those will buff out. And your deductible should not be that much, maybe 250.

 

Yeah, as others have said. they're down to plastic. It will likely look like crap if you don't have the proper materials (ie" paint booth, paint gun, etc.) to do it.

 

Try taking it to auto body shops and see what their prices would be to sand the bumper down and repaint it.

 

Yeah, it is down to the plastic.. how much would something like this cost if I take it to a bodyshop? Do they have to repaint the whole bumper?

 

most will buff out with a rotary and some 3m compound the scratches to the plastic will still be there though

 

Buff then touch up paint

 

it shouldnt cost more then a couple hundred dollars and yes they should spray the whole bumper.

 

i was quoted 350 from a good body shop so that gives you an idea.

 

I had something similar to this on my front bumper. At a body shop it will cost about $200-$300. Whatever you do don't take it to the dealership. My dealership tried to charge me $800.. I laughed at them and told them I could of bought a new bumper cheaper then that.
