Wel lets just say Im an idiot.



Anywho, so I have a '97 3.0 CL. And Im washing the car one day, one of the many days, and there are these little marks on the front bumper. And Im like scrubbin the SOB like no other. And nothing. So I get pissed and get out my pressure washer.. And you can see where this is going. But ill continue anyways lol. Anywho I power the sucker up, and the tip was screwed up so i couldnt adjust it. So I started spraying like 10 yards away from the car, and I was like alright this aint even powerful. So I started moving closer, then closer, then seeing the awesome results, really close when. "SHIT!" lol. I pressure washed a 3 inch patch of paint off of my front bumper. All of the paint, all the way to the black bumper underneath.

So, what is the best way to go about fixing this.
Any help would be great.

And I know im a dumbass.
