So somebody decided to be funny today and scratch my car ...I'll give them the benefit of the doubt simply because there's a lot of snow and ice...but still I'm kinda pissed...so my question is...does anybody know if I wanted to fix these scratches would I have to paint the whole bumper or can I just paint the area?...and does anybody know a good place where I can take it to in the NoVa area?...and how much it would cost?...Thanks in advanced...

 

I had the same happen to me, except they also rubbed a quarter sized spot in the clear plastic tail light. I called Radley Acura in Arlington and they have a company that comes on-site to do scratch repair. They did my back bumper and tail light for about $250. Was able to leave it that morning and pick it back up that afternoon.

 

Can you feel it with your finger nail? (Is there a deep groove) If not, then you should be able to polish it out. =)

I've got an '04 Abyss Blue Pearl. Had a problem where a semi jsut scrpaed the front of my bumper (long story). I live in Fairfax, and I took mine in to Chantilly Auto Body (recommended by USAA, my insurer) - located off Rt. 50, west of Rt. 28. They did a great job, and the price was reasonable (the trucking company paid for it, not me).

 

Thanks for the replies!...and yea they're deep unfortunately...they go all the way down to the plastic...I'll check out these places that you guys suggested...i've also wondered if the a-spec kit would cover the scratch...what do u guys think?...I would rather save up for that instead of painting it...

 

Yes it would. If you get one Dennis will put it on for about $150. http://www.i-modify.com/
