Yeah, now I get to rent a car next week for the paint shop to fix me up... horray for me! But I'm having them get the hood while they're at it as it has some chips and a scratch down to the metal that are starting to show surface rust.

decent body shop should be able to straighten you out. Something similar happened to me and my body shop had me looking like new. Of course i made the old lady pay.

Isn't there a franchise thingy called "bumper medic" or something like that. Seems that I've seen them running around town before...

Check w/a dealership on who they use to repair their bumper scratches, dings, scrapes. They usually have someone just like they have a paintless dent removal guy, wheel scrape fixer, etc.

Nice work there, we have similar companies that do some sublet work at our dealer here.

If the cover is distorted it will probably have to be replaced. You can get new from the dealer or exchange from a place that repairs covers and that is cheaper, but sometimes takes longer if they don't have one in stock.

Chips, small divots and scratches can be repaired. Spot painting a black bumper is not recommended as the blend will show up sooner or later.

No harm in consulting one of those mobile services that goes to dealers and fixes cars in their parking lot (not to be confused with guys that stop you on the street and say they can fix it for $75 bucks while you wait at the curb!).

Really no substitute for the complete body shop routine if you want it like new, but the decal ploy is pretty good sometimes. The chrome woman is another option.

One of my kids put on a "porn star" decal despite my warnings. Sure enough, he was pulled over by an unamused highway patrol woman. My cars will always be controversy-free. Ain't looking for no trouble.
