Hey guys, it hasn't been 2 weeks yet and someone already scratched my back and front. The front looks like it can be polished off with some good stuff. The back is straight up scratched. So I need your help. My very good Saturday is now horrible. Please tell me with what I can rub this off and what I should do about the back. I'll post pictures in a minute.

The dealer I bought the car from is very patriotic! All jokes aside though what should I do with the back? Do you guys think I should repaint the whole bumper? I took the pic before I took it to the wash and now its more visible.

The front isn't that bad but its black dead center on the bumper. What should I do. Thanks in advance.

The only way to fix missing paint is with paint. I'd suggest taking it to a reputable body shop.

You could try Dr. Color Chip. You've really got nothing to lose. If it doesn't look good or turn out right, your going to have to take it to a body shop anyway.

So I got the front off. The back is definitely scratched/chipped. So where can I get this Dr. Color Chip? Has anyone used this if so what were you experiences?

Dang...where you been parking your car?

My recommendation is to pick up touch up paint from your dealership...
You can get the clearcoat pen from Turtle wax's scratch repair kit..

Dr color chip is primarily for small chips. Think more the size of the tip of a pencil. There is a whole scrape off the bumper right one the body line. Touch up paint and Dr. Color chip are meant for smaller damage. This needs to be repaired by a pro otherwise it'll look just as obvious as the black primer.
