Bad boo-boo
 
Ok, so I parked underneath my buddy's parking spot at his complex. Well it's one of those junk car cover things with pylons. Well, his spot was situated right next to a pylon. Let's just say the next morning I forgot about the pylon and backed out, cut the wheel, scccrrraaapppeee...*Expletive* *More Expletives*. You get the picture.

Thankfully there's no body damage but the paint on the front bumper got scuffed up pretty good.

Needless to say I'm not happy but the paint on the bumper is pretty new (<6 months), so can a paint shop sand that part of the bumper down and re-paint it or are they going to have to do the whole bumper?. Also, the bumper is that thicker plastic stuff, so I don't know how much sanding they can do. I'll get a pic up when I get it cleaned up as much as I can, but it looked a lot worse when it first happened.

Oh, yeah and Monday I found that my fog light cap came off inside the lamp, so I'll have to get a new one of those if I choose.

I would repair it and blend the color out.
For a quality job the whole bumper should be re cleared.
If the damage is bad a new bumper is not as much as you might think.
When I put a boo-boo in mine I took the opportunity to put an srt6 one on.
Oh and the srt one is cheaper than the limited one. Go figure.

any good body shop would fix the damaged part and blend the paint just a little past the damaged spot then clear over the whole bumper making it look good as new...shouldn't cost you that much.
