How can I repair this scratch?



So I scratched getting out of my driveway and i see this. I'm pretty sure it went through the paint. Is there any way to get it looking back to normal.

That's the urethane showing. Take it to a shop and have them fix it or attempt it yourself and get color matching touch up paint from the dealer

It looks like the front of the car hard to tell, put a lip on that baby and cover it up, or just sand the scratch a little and touch it up, in a few days you will learn to live with it. If it is the back, consider putting the stock mud guards and cover it up, or just touch it up and don't look at it when you walk by.

It's in the front. I'll probably just touch it up. Do you think it is worth going to a body shop?

Plastikote makes great touch up kits and it comes with all coats and tools for like $20. My IP (3 stage) kit has helped me fix a few bad scratches and it looks great.

Or you could go to the dealership and buy some touch up paint which will come very, very close to matching your paint. Body shop might charge you God know what for that little scratch, touch up paint should get 'er done!

like everyone else said. just clean up the area and get it smooth and throw some touch up on it. automotivetouchup has a good color match if you decide not to go thru the dealer.

I helped my son-in-law find a drivers side mirror for his '04 sedan at our local Nissan/Infiniti wrecking yard. (boneyard) Visit your Infiniti dealership parts department and get a part number and then contact your local boneyard, you'll have the information for them to find the bumper you're looking for. If they don't have it, there's a nation wide website where they can locate one.
