What do I do?

Ok so I was pulling my car into my garage and being that my 4 wheeler and a whole other bunch of stuff are on the other side of the garage, I have little room to get in but I managa fine. Today....I was pulling in and I saw that I was little close to the wall I get out to check it out and I was but I wasnt hitting. I tried turning the wheel to maybe back up and when I turned the wheel the bumper touched the wall. It was basically under the corner light and it left a little whole like scratch but you can see the black since my car is IP. Its just a little round dot, visible and black. My question is should I put touch up paint or should I bring it to a shop. It really is very little but I am just that way. since its an 06. What do you guys suggest I do and what is the best way to DIY. Thank you for any help.

post some pics. we can check them out. maybe just a buff and polish might do the trick.

But you can actually see the black from the bumper under the paint, can you still do that??

if you see the plastic on your bumper... no buff and polish is going to get that out. You have a pit mark that is down to the actual bumper plastic. You should be able to touch it up w/o much problem yourself.

Keep in dust free area after wash & dry. Fill pit w/ touch up paint (it sounds like it is very small so you don't even have to user primer, but your choice to apply first if you want). Make sure you add enough paint to fill in the pit or dimple. YOu actually want it to be layered higher than the stock paint. Dry, then sand it down to match the stock paint. Use a good buff and polish to finish it off and you shoudl be as good as new. Apply wax for extra protection.

I think this should do it... no expert, but i'm sure others with more experience will chime in.
