Bumper Scratch

I was backing out today and about half-way out I heard a thump. I stopped the car and saw that my back bumper and the side of this old lady car met.

Here is a picture of my damages below. There isn't any other visible damage beside the paint. I am going to take it to a body shop later this week but do you guys think there are any other damages before I drive (frame damage?)

Ah ok thanks! I guess it needs to be repainted. Do you know how much it is going to cost before I take it to the shop?

Was the old lady car white because it looks like paint transfered onto yours? If that's all (no cracks or scratches) then you are ok.
The white will come off, then just have it polished...good as new.
It shouldn't cost much either.
Just looking at it again...did the bump scuff the clear coat to make it look white. If so, wetsanding and buffing could possibly fix that up too.

I uploaded a couple of pics off my phone. It was a silver color camry and some of the white did come off by rubbing it. There is a little spot were it is rough to the touch. I'm gussing that it is the clear coat?
