Hello all,
Yesterday while filling up on gas I noticed someone clipped my rear bumper pretty good. Damage is cosmetic only, body lines do not appear to have shifted. No helpful security footage. I bought a color match pen from amazon. My question(s) to the community are:
Are these gouges too wide to properly fill with a pen? They are about 2-3" long and maybe 0.5" wide. I know this method will be noticeable up close, but am willing to try until I determine long-term resolution.
Anyone doctored something similar? Other methods/tips?
I plan to get quotes from ford for a bumper replacement and quotes from local body shops for a touch up repair. I've had the car 10 days :| people suck.
I will also post whatever estimates I receive to give folks a ballpark for similar instances.
