And any ideas where in L.A. I should do it? Thanks. Maybe I should just the a aftermarket lip...

 

I had a similiar, but not as severe scrape when my
car bottomed out at the dealership.

The funny thing.... i was on my way to get touch up
paint for my door edge.

Repaint the whole bumper is my guess.... or get that
nismo kit.

 

LA-Z, it can be fixed, I think it will cost a $100-200, BUT my family owns a dealer and we get used cars in and they fix that stuff all the time. The people we have do it are contracted out, but it can be fixed to look NEW. I have seen thier work, AMAZING.

 

Touch up paint! and when you get more scrapes and scratches, then have the body shop repaint it.

Some big azz road debris hit my lower bottom part of my front bumper and left some scratches. I went to the dealer today to get the touch up paint for silverstone but they didn't have it in stock! It has to be special ordered.

 

Yup...it's gonna happen again, so don't spend too much on it! If you're handy, you could just buy the color matched paint at a local paint store and airbrush a pretty good job yourself...make sure the paint has the clearcoat incorporated because it is an easier process and one less step. You can lightly blend it without much difficulty because it looks to be in a somewhat inconspicuous area...but your eye will always go there even if no one else ever sees it! That's how I'm fixing mine...same area...the wife's foot slipped off the brake (so she says) near a bump stopper. Though mine is not nearly that bad. Otherwise, as posted above, if you don't want the headache, I'll bet you could get the name from your dealer of the detail/paint touchup guy they use. I used to do that kind of work and wouldn't charge you more than $100. Just go to the manager of the used car department within your dealership...tell them you want to contact him directly and I don't think they'd have any problem with that.

 

I did almost the exact same thing. I just sanded it lightly with 400 grit sandpaper and used touch up paint. From the angle that you normally view the car, you can't even notice it.

 

Yup, but from the picure posted above, I'd highly recommend use of an airbrush...just get the area lightly sanded (wet sand 400) and don't go far beyond the scar. Even if you are a novice at the airbrush, they are fun and a great tool for this type of thing. You can get one at your local hobby shop and practice a little beforehand...may have to thin the touch up paint that the dealership gives you if you use it. I promise you'll be happy unless you are completely paulsiated (sp?) And if you don't like the results you aren't any worse off than when you started!
