Today i was driving my s2k and parked to get some water. I drove a little too far up on the parking and i hit the parking stopper. Now i have minor scratches in my front bumper. Since my car is black it is very noticable. What are my options to get that touched up and approximately how much would it cost? Thanks

Unpaved roads did the same to my bumper. What are the cheap options?

In my area there is a shop that specializes in minor dent/ding/scratch repair. I believe they advertise something like $50-75 per minor repair.

Might see if you have something similar in your area.

Negcamber,

Is that Carmedics??

Buy a bottle of touch up paint for $10. You'll wind up scratching your bumper again.

Other options are a bumper protector or an OEM lip.

Cover it with a lip if you can......

That will turn a bad ocurrence into something good

Find one of those minor dent/scratch repair places. My buddy used to work at one in Phoenix. They'd mix up some paint in an air brush and make sure it was an exact match to yours, then paint over the scratch, then use some type of pad to rub off all the paint except what was in the scratch. Then, they'd sand and buff it after it was dry. when it was done you could barely even tell. Car dealerships would have them do dozens of rock chips on every trade in and it looked like the whole car had been repainted. They didn't charge much at all compared to getting the bumper repainted, which would be $200 or so. good luck,

Yeah...thanks...could not recall the name.

If the scratches are superficial - not down to the base coat - you could possibly use an orbital buffer and the proper scratch remover (there are many good ones on the market). Maybe a friend has one. If not then a place like viper driver suggested is your best bet.
