New Here - need advice

Hey guys...this site is awesome!
2 Questions for ya....First, got a scratch on my rear rim(Curb Rub)...anybody have advice on wether or not you can repair these things?
Secondly....I've got a couple of scratches on my front bumper - one is pretty deep and long. Has anyone had luck with a good repair place - ie. airbrush, fill-in or whatever. I hate to replace the bumper if I don't have to?
Any help would be great! - Thanks guys!

I haven't had to pay for those repairs, but the dealer chipped my bumper and scratched my wheels, both were pretty easy to repair. It was like a 2 hour job.

I would guess the dealer is familiar with constant scratch repairs. Anyone else had any luck with these small repairs?

You may have more luck in the proper forum. I'll move it over for you (Detail Shop).

I seem to have gotten a surface scratch in my rear valence, the black plastic, anyone have any ideas how to hide that a little? It's just on the surface, can't even feel it!

Not sure about the wheel, but I know it was discussed somewhere on this board.

About the bumper. Backed into a low brick wall. Scratched the back bumper in several places and even put a cut in the bumper about an inch long. The dealer worked with a bumper repair shop. Filled the cut and airbrushed all of the scratches. Awesome job. You have to look very carefully and you might notice something. Awesome job. And I have the ivory pearl. It is a 3 stage paint. Very hard to match....Only cost about $200. Good luck!
