Fixing up kinda big scratches

Damn old lady with her f*cked up bumper and license plate hit the rear while parking and took a chunk of paint off the bumper... bout 1cm by 1cm. Couldn't pick on a granny now besides knowing the ones in NYC, they'll shoot you too lol What should I do? Touch-up paint or something? I'll take some pics later.

Do you have the money to take it to a body shop? No way you're gonna make it look good with touchup paint.

i used langka... not that impressed with its results. there were a lot of mixed reviews but from my experience, it doesnt do much. the pictures they have on the site show good theory but in reality, it hardly works that well.

Last year I took our Odyssey to NYC and someone backed into my front bumper resulted a big scratch. I took it to a local body shop and they repainted the area (not the entier bumper) and I think it was less than $100. You might want to check it out with your local body shop. :-)

Is the bumped cover perforated or dented? If so, this will be between $300-400. That what I paid to repair a small tear and do a first-rate re-paint. El cheap places will not match the paint and often leave embedded dirt. Depends on whether you want a decent or A-1 job done. U get what you pay for in body work.
