Front Bumper Curb Rash. FML!

Okay, so I was making a U turn in my neighborhood, and ended up running into a curb scraping my front bumper a good amount. What makes me mad is... I kind of knew I wasn't going to make it, but I went for it anyway.

What's the best way to fix this? Can a dealer or an autobody place touch this up without a full bumper repaint? How much would it cost? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,


Ray

did it gouge the plastic? is that curb paint? if its just paint and no gouging then laquer thinner will take it off. it is an easy fix for a body shop though.

Wow. I would have gone with "sorry about the repost, I didn't realize I had posted it in the wrong section until it was too late."

Warning.....

Guys, I've issued warnings for this thread and have closed it. There is no need for multiple posts of the same topic. Nor is there any need for language like I deleted.

If this continues, some of you will get a Winter vacation. Got it?
