I had just finished layering 1xAIO and 3xSG Klasse on my car (color: Millenium Silver Metallic), when I decided to scrape my front bumper against a high curb when backing up. :wall :(



What products and steps would you recommend to improve the appearance of this rather nasty scrape? I don't expect it to look anywhere near perfect...just not so noticeable.



Here are some pictures of the damage:
 
I would say call the bumper medic, but they not in many areas. They only in Las Vegas and San Diego. I am in NY so I am not better off. It a traveling bumper repaire place. Looks good, people online that used them say they do good work. Maybe there is one of those in ur area, I am still looking in mine.
 
the further i scrolled down the worse i felt for you, you went down to the plastic, i'd say a repaint is the only thing that's going to make that look much better. I'd be scared to buff around that area as it may cause more paint to flake away.
 
Well, you're in a 'not much to lose' situation here, so to make it

less noticeable I would get the black plastic that is showing through

there back to a color closer to the paint. :)

I would clean it well, maybe take a sanding block veeeerrrryyy carefully

to the worst area, and spray it with a plastic bumper spray paint (available at most auto parts stores).



I did the whole lower chin spoiler on my car with no problems.

(Granted, semi-flat black is pretty forgiving).

Yeah, repaint. Most body shops today can feather an area of a bumper. It should save some money if you can have just that area repainted. Not the entire bumper.
