Somehow my front bumper has paint missing?

Hey guys.

Just got my car back from the dealer a few days ago and just noticed a huge chunk of paint missing from my bumper...

As much as i'd love to go back and raise hell, i know that nothing can be done (if they even did it) just because i left and didn't see it...

Will touch up paint do any justice?

I really don't want to repaint my bumper because of this...

Take it back thats messed up.

Touchup might help, but I would hit them up for a respray of the bumper.

Touchup really won't do anything for that. i mean you could try but its not going to look right. If that's how you received your car back from the detailer than I would 100% go back there and demand they pay to have it fixed, any reputable detailer or any business for that matter would fix a mistake like that

Was it a reputable shop or just some guy?

It was a dealer... but i don't entirely know if it was them... i only saw it 2-3 days AFTER i picked it up... yet i KNOW i never scratched it (i'm VERY anal with the car)... so they probably scratched it and i didnt notice it.

Did they take pics of your car when you dropped it off? That would easily be cleared up if they did. When I dropped off my car at the dealer they took pictures of my car. As for touch up, it could work if you did a really good job with a fine brush. The scratch is low enough that it shouldn't be too noticeable from some distance if you touched it up.
