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??

 

Really depends on the look you want....home done or pro done......I know what I would do.

 

That's going to be a few bucks, sorry to hear, real bummer

 

no i have a driveway

 

can this be buffed out? i know the black parts can't but how about the rest?

 

Someone or something hit your car.... Any video cameras nearby? Surveillance?

 

Some of the scuffs may come off with a good cleaner wax, but there is no way I could live with touching up the scratches and chips. It would have to be painted, and I might not even be able to live with that as evidenced by a past Mustang I had.

 

Those spots look a little too big for the touch-up paint to look good...

Kid on a bike ?

 

Welcome to the Club :-(

 

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.

 

Some of your smaller shops do very good work and half the price of well known larger paint and body shops.
