Don't do it, it looks worst to put a sticker over it.

^ what he said.

i had an '03 silver maxima, got a ding on the rear bumper.. decided not to repaint it, 6 months later, an RV t-boned me cause he wasn't paying attention to the roads..

for something minor like that, yeah it sucks and wears on your patience, but if money is tight, it's really not worth it..

I've been getting $400-$600 estimates to repaint the bumper & my insurance has a $1000 deductible so I guess I'm going to either put a sticker over it for now or just try to look past it till I have enough rock chips to justify a respray.

Good paintjob > No paintjob > Cheap paintjob

Honestly most cheap paint jobs will just end up making it look worse than it did before. (orange peel, runs, color match ect)

Either get it done professionally by a good shop or do it at all. Paint is really an area where you get what you pay for.

Exactly why I turned down the $200 estimate haha

100% agree. Honestly, the damage isn't all that bad and I'd let it go. Spending the money isn't worth it for such a small spot. Wait until you get hit again or a bunch of rock chips.

If it makes you feel any better, here's a picture of mine that I came out to see after work a couple of weeks ago. No note or contact info. Luckily the parking lot attendant got her info and gave it to me a few days later. Now I'm getting that sucker repainted through her insurance. It was due for a respray anyway due to rock chips.
