So I just found out that someone hit my rear end and didn't leave a note or anything????

Its not huge, but it spidered the paint and left a nice 14 inch scrape on the bumper.

If I file insurance claim do you think I could get away with getting the car resprayed lol?

It's a 2007 so it would be next to impossible to match the car.

 

I think these days they could paint match a car even if the paint is old. So they take the original paint code and then mix it so it matches the aged paint. Not certain for sure, but I know they can pretty much match any paint.

 

Ouch....just checked and my deductible is 500.....that complicates things Grrrrrrr.

 

You should be able to use the same bumper. (It's kind of hard to say without seeing a picture of it.)

I know with my car it looks like they didn't add much flex to the paint. So when it bends it spiderwebs the paint.

I would take it to a body shop and have them completely strip it and fix it up real nice for you. My body shop charges $150 per bumper. I hope this helps.

 

This happened to me over a year ago front & rear, you just need to take care of it yourself! You don't need a new bumper, find a body shop and have it repainted. Finding a quality shop, ask your insurance company who they recommend.

Yeah I know a guy that does paint very well so I am going to just go through him. I already let him know and he will do it for $75 and a 12 pack lol, but I have to help sanding.

Wow $150 per bumper is ultra cheap.

 

Yeah it is. But it's also quality work. I know of quiet of bit of hookups in East TN if anyone is around this area needing stuff done.

I am actually going to have them redo my rear bumper because it is just like yours is as well.
