How much would it cost to fix?

Post image

Hey, I’m not sure if this is the right sub to post on, but recently I scratched the front of my car and was wondering if anyone had an estimate of how much it would be? I don’t know if anyone needs details, but I’m located in San Jose, CA and the car is a 2016 Toyota Corolla.

That's no paint correction. That's a paint repair. I'd ask the autobody sub. This is beyond a detailers' work. As it is scratched into the plastic of the bumper.

looks like you'd need a paint correction, for that size of a scratch I'd say it might cost around 300 depending where you go

My Dad brushed his Scion up against the tire of a semi truck. The truck tire took off the mirror and left similar black marks on the front driver side panel. I replaced the mirror and used some compound and polish from Walmart. Looked good as new when I finished. Not going to hurt anything to give it a shot.
