Scuffed paint front bumper

[GAsr5]

Hi all
Attaching photos aren’t working.

About a year ago I took some paint off the front passenger bumper pulling into the garage. Now that I’m about to pay off my runner, I’d like to get it fixed.

What’re the best places to go? Mall or another commercial place? Or local body shop?

I don’t need the most expensive job. It’s tough to notice but it bothers me enough. How much should I budget for?


Edit: maybe this will work for pics 818-FD4-E5-CF89-4-C8-D-94-F8-1332-BBAC9-B0-C — ImgBB

kinda hard to see details in the pic. if its just scuffed or lightly scratched you might be able to use some rubbing compound & buff it out or make it acceptable.

if it actually scratched through the clear coat & paint then it will need to be touched up or spot painted. if you're able to try it yourself you can buy matched paint in a can from auto parts stores & try a spot touch up, but if you've never painted before then it migh be best to check with some smaller auto body companies in your city, get a few estimates & let them know you just need it spot painted & blend into teh rest of the bumper, not a full repaint. should be a few hundred bucks to do a spot paint/blend.

also ask if it can be buffed out, no need to repaint it if it just scuffed the clear.

ARB bumper replacement for the win!!

It’s not a scuff, it’s down to the actual body/metal. There’s no paint in those spots.

I don’t think this is something I’d want to do myself. I just can’t go get quotes yet with the corona virus haha. Any ideas what this could run?

Would this be worth putting plastidip over just to cover it up?
