woke up to find scratches on my rear bumper
![](http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr324/roxy3212/scratches.jpg)
Hi, I have a 2012 mustang with the metallic tint red paint (it's the special paint that was $500 extra msrp, not the race red). So I found these scratches on my rear right bumper this morning. That small light in the bumper seems fine, however, there are 3 or 4 black circles where the paint is completed chipped off, there are also white lines that are scratches. Should I order the touch up paint from my dealer and just paint over everything myself? how would I get rid of the white lines, thanks in advance

Touch up paint works, but to get it perfect again, you'd probably need to repaint it
Do you park on the street??

what do you recommend I do? take my car to a mechanic who does body work and have him repaint the whole bumper? how much will that be.

i thought i ran over a big rock and it hit my bumper. I was driving on the highway, i was accelerating and all of a sudden i heard a loud thud. I don't know if that was what cause the scratches because i didn't look after i got home. It's possible another car scraped me in a parking lot but i mean wouldn't the damage be worse is that was the case?

Not sure if this helps, but I was quoted $260 for repainting front bumper. That was by a shop in a very seedy area... a shop that did work for GAS watned $350.

When we had our '07 GT Vert, took it to Ford and estimate was $362.00 to paint the rear cover, 1 day job. Just pick a good body shop....maybe one recommended by some locals. Pretty easy thing to do really.
