Front Bumper Cover Repair

[internetdad]

So after just a few weeks of owning my Stinger I've managed to be scraped by another person and have some metal on the highway fly at my front bumper. The initial scrape from another person wasn't so bad so it was able to be buffed/wet sanded and finished to the point that it isn't really visible. The latest cut, however, is deep enough that the plastic itself is actually indented. I know it is very small, but this car is so new I hate seeing that on it. I'm not very experienced in this, is this something that you all think would warrant a full replacement or would be able to be epoxied and repainted?

Leave it. You’re gonna get a lot more in that location. Use some touch-up paint if you want, but not worth spending any more time or money on a very vulnerable part of the car.

I agree, leave it, touch it up the best you can. Smooth the raised plastic down, then fill the gash with touchup paint. Being on a raised edge it is going to be less noticeable than a longer scratch on a flat surface, and easier to touch up too.
