Small paint chips and scratches fix

I want to cover up the small scratches and paint chips on my car myself but I
want to get a quote around how much a bodyshop would charge to fix them.
I've already bought touch up paint

some of those scratches may come off with compounds. the big ones you'll need to repaint.. for a good job, done right; you will need to repaint the whole front bumper; depending on the bodyshop; that can cost somewhere between $300 to $500.

I would visit a good detailer first, if they can't fix it then the body shop would be your best shop.

Just do a deal with a bodyshop. Never go to the dealer, they are the most expensive.
