paint work on bumpers

[yugotdonkey]

GRRRRR.....A damn truck fu¢ked my back bumper UP parallel parking, ####in lousy drivers . I have a nice 1 and a half foot paint/scratch mark along my rear bumper on the driver side now, how nice. Do you guys know of any type of product that I could use to clean up the mess a little bit with or how much it will cost me to have it repainted? Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks Eric

For now, you can grab some 800, 1000, 1500 grit sanpaper and try wetsanding the area where the paint was blemished, and then buff it. Try some touch-up paint from an autoparts store for a temporary fix.

To get it repaired and painted (which is hard to say since I can't see how serious the damage is) will probably be around $225. I have a small dent in my front bumper, and that's what it's costing me to have the dent fixed, shave the emblem and paint the bumper/fog covers.

If it's not through the paint, you might try some white polishing compound or an aggressive (Classic) wax. I'd not try sanding.
