My wife used my car to goto work this morning. When she got home I did my daily walk around of it to see if anything went wrong. To my surprise I noticed a 12 inch scuff on the back right bumper. After I wiped the excess off I noticed an even niced .5 inch wide, 12 inch long scratch that took the paint clean off. I hate people so much right now. About how much would it cost to get it repainted? Or is it cheaper just to get a new bumper?

Whatta Black Friday this is

Take it to some body shops to get an estimate on how much a touch up would be. The things they can do now-days are pretty crazy, don't give up yet

I feel your pain man! I am so scared ANY THING is going to even touch my black 07 GT I still cant park it in a full parking lot or leave it out of sight for more than a few minutes. I have had my car 4 months. If its any consolation, and I know its not at LEAST they didnt dent you door or fender, I would have heart failure if I had it happan, and if not, I would be in jail for sure if I caught the fool that did it.

People just have no consideration for other's any more. Ok Im done now.. Sorry

I know your pain, took mine in for service today and had to stay there and babysit the dealership. When it came time to test drive it, the service writer went with the service tech.

Some turd put a very small(barely perceptible) dent on my passenger side door, right on the body line last week. I've never had this happen to a car, and I parked in crowded college parking lots for years. Had I caught them, I probably would have hurt them severely.

bumper

It cost about $500 to remove and paint. I had a guy last year come cut and repaint a scratch and reclear for about $70. It worked great and still looks fine. I got him from a dealer that uses him to touch up there trades to resell.
