Got Rear-Ended...touch up paint sufficient?
Hey all,
Got hit in the rear yesterday. I have some scratches on the bumper and rear trunk. No structural damages at all.
The guy took off some paint and I can actually see the black plastic underneath. Do you think touch-up paint and some good polishing would do the trick?
Below are pictures, not sure how good you can see, but basically, its just the top layer of paint came off and black underlayer is visible.
Thanks~!!

you might as well get a new bumper....if its down to the rubber, no way you could touch it up, dont bother trying. it will look worse. that things pretty banged up, if u can live with it who cares, if not, get a new one. insurance? also, i see you hve a pretty significant knick on the right side of the tail gait, if u dont get the metal parts taken care of, you will also have rusting to deal with and probably more peeling etc...thats no touch up job at all

I would file a claim for that and have the person that you hit you pay for it. I doubt there is any additional damage behind the bumper but it's always nice to know for sure. Touch-up paint would be very noticeable as it's a bunch of big scratches.
