Dammnnn My Poor baby, tradegy occured

Was going in reverse in an alley and there was small dumpster that I backed into, basically looks like i need to repaint it, or replace the bumper cover, Anybody Know how much a scratch like that would cost to repair.

It's got to be cheaper to remove and repaint than to replace.

lol

And I spent $250 at a local bodyshop to get a big chip (size of a baseball) on the hood of my '55 Chevy filled and painted. They blended the paint and re-cleared the hood. It was a green-metallic paint that was about 15 years old, so it wasn't exactly an easy job. It turned out to be a flawless repair! If they could do that for $250, I'd expect you could get yours repaired for about that as well, depending on the amount of damage.

Shouldn't be too bad on a black car, but you could get the whole bumper cap painted if you wanted. As was mentioned, this could be a good time for an aftermarket bumper cap. You might consider filing a claim to help offset the cost of a new bumper and paint.
