Wondering if anyone knew of a local shop to have a repair done to my bumper. I ever-so-slightly rubbed it against a concrete pylon in a parking garage (yes, I'm kicking myself).

The damage looks similar to what a cheese grater might do if you ran up to the edge/corner of your Z's front bumper and took a quick front to back swipe.

The grate is kinda deep so I'm not sure if it can be sanded/filled/whatever and repainted (I know little about cosmetic repair) or if I gotta pony up for a new bumper piece altogether.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

....Great excuse to get an aftermarket bumper!

BTW- Scott overzealous1, owner of SVRT in the Portland area does bodywork.

it can be filled ull need to repaint if thats the case gonna be a few hundred if they need to fill it and respray but have em color match by blending with the other nearby panels

 

come on man, you are sending the guy to OR.
by the way, for just a little grate, or tiny minuscule scratch just go to any paint shop and ask them what to do, i had one on the bottom of my front bumper, and did it the same way they gave my some sealant with the same color, and because it was on not obvious spot it worked like a boom, perfect

 

PM me with a pic of the damage and I'll have my body guy give ya a quote. He does extremely good work for an inexpensive price - he painted my bumper and hood.

 

I also have felt the wrath of concrete.

Can I PM you too dude?

 

Ask DevilZ...he's had plenty of experience in this arena....

 

Just trying to help

 

I think my painter will be the best guy with the best pricing for fixing anything around here since he works out of his home.

 

I'm friends with arguably (IMO) one of the best bodyshops in the area. PM me if you want anything.

 

As always, thanks guys for the info.

AlvinHuyN, I'll snap some pics with the digicam once I get home tonight and post em up. Everytime I see the scratch it pisses me off more and more.

And yeah, this does give me an excuse to go aftermarket but if I do that I pretty much need to get matching side skirts and the rear diffuser piece don't I? I mean I don't want an aftermarket frontend looking awkward with nothing done to the rest of the body.

 

Here are some so-so images w/ flash (parking garage is poorly lit).



and another for good measure...
