Default How should I fix my rear bumper (PICS)

Some asshat hit my bumper while I was parked. There is indentation in two spots. Since the bumper is plastic, I didn't know if this could be repaired and painted or do I have to get a new bumper? If it can be repaired, does the body shop have to paint the whole bumper or can they blend the paint in with the rest of the paint on the bumper.

Thanks for any input.

you hear that I think this guy hit your car if he has the same exact marks on his front bumper...lol they will probably use filler and just repaint the bumper or you can buy a lip kit that will cover that entire area. just trying to make a negative into a positive. good luck sorry about your bumper
