HELP! I backed into a SUV and left with 2 lic plate marks!

So backed into a SUV today. Nothing happened to the SUV but it left my back bumper with 2 lic plate marks! I am hating myself for this right now and wanting to CRY! What should I do? touch up paint?

Look like its pretty deep, The best way is to have the bumper repainted.

Good luck.

touchup / repaint would be the only way.

might be a good time to polish those swirls out too....

+1

Those scratches look too deep to be buffed out. As kenchan mentioned, touchup paint would be the DIY method.

He also brought up a good point in that your paint is showing its age with those swirl marks. Your vehicle could really benefit from a good polishing job.

If you have any questions on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.

The car is in the shop as we speak... it's costing me ~$300 to have it fixed!
