Front/Rear bumper fixed,or just touch up?

ny325 · 12-09-2012, 05:52 PM

My 2008 E90 has some minor scuffs, on the front bumper that i touched up. This past weekend after parking far way from the supermarket, and no cars around, I came out to see a shopping cart resting on my rear bumper. It left a couple very small scratches. I touched it up with touch up paint. I take really good care of my car, however, these minor scuffs are annoying me. Has anyone had their bumper fixed from minor scuffs, and scratches? I'm thinking of going to the dealership, and see what they charge to repair, and make my bumpers look new again. I don't like those little marks that touch up paint leaves behind. I'm hoping they could just spray where the marks and leave the paint looking smooth. Thanks!

dealer will charge you A LOT, go to a good body shop if its bothering you. for less than half the price.

I was thinking that. Hopefully they use oem paint. I been living with the front for some time, However, after the rear was nicked up, I'm curious What can be done to make it look better. Thanks.
