scratch bumper.

zmyride · 05-09-2011, 01:57 PM

hey guys,

I got into a fender bender. this guy in a truck backed out of his parking spot and scratched my front bumper. Just a few large scratches, no structural damage.

His insurance called me and said he admitted his fault. They will pay for the repair.

what would the autobody shops do in general? do they replace the whole bumper or just fix it?

if there is no puncture damage, they will just repaint it. They will probably paint the whole thing, but they might just paint that side and feather it into the paint. I would have them repaint the whole thing.
