Plastic Bumper Repair
Im not to sure were to post this but, i parked my car at the mall and when i came out i noticed some asshat had backed into my car and left suffs and scratches on the left corner of my rear bumper. since i live in bc and ICBC the insurance company likes to screw people over, i was woundering if there are any ways to fix the paint, or should i just go to a body shop and what you think it might cost to have repaired.

^ pretty much. If its scratched thru the paint into the plastic it needs to be repainted. Can you post pictures? Are there white or black scuffs? Many times those are just superficial and can be buffed out. Scratches usually need to be sanded and painted depended on the severity of them.

fst gave you a pretty good answer before you even asked.

Yeah, as previously mentioned....if the scratches are only light, gently try some polishing compound on them first. Are the scratches on a small area of the top, bottom or on the entire bumper's surface ? Any pics ?
