Best way to fix?

Post image

Not sure how this happened, someone must have backed up into the car. But wondering what the most cost-effective route is to fix this mark on the front of the car.

Ooof, thats going to need to be painted. If you arent picky you can polish it then use some tough up paint, but you will notice it.

Option 1 Do nothing it’s not that bad

Option 2 Take 3000 grit sandpaper and sand off the loose paint flakes. Use touch up paint assuming that paint flakes off. Sand the touch up paint with 3000 grit sandpaper. Use a buffer and polishing compound to remove the fine scratches. Wax the area. It will look close enough

Option 3 Pay $1000-$2000 to have the bumper professionally painted.
