Body shop. Fill, sand, primer, paint and clear the whole bumper if you want it done right. You might be able to spot repair (blend) if your guy is really good.

 

thanks, i will go and see what they can do. i'am going to start parking sideways from now on haha.

 

damn sorry to see that. Same thing happened to me in the walmart parking lot except not quite as bad and I was able to buff most of it out!

 

might not be worth repainting the whole bumper depending on how big it is. I'd try spotpaint first. That OEM paint is stronger than any aftermarket paint will put on.

 

If thats been your experience...find a new body shop.

if prepped and applied correctly, Id argue a skilled body man can produce a better finished product than the Hyundai assembly line (aka orangepeel factory)

 

^ yea i was kinda thinking of using dr color chip i have to see if it will blend in good.

 

Stop going to Walmart! LOL

 

Stop parking at Walmart! LOL

Park as far as possible from all the other idiots as you can. At work I park behind the building and my car is all by it's lonesome, no door dings on her at all.

 

Not to bring you down with the whole parking away idea but D-Bags will park next to you no matter what ........

 

:gc-smiley-sign-i-ag Nobody actually parks in the back side of the store I work at besides me most of the year. It's on the east side so the bulding puts my car into the shade about 3pm keeping it cooler and we all know out of the sun is always a good idea.

Parking lots are designed for maximum parking and some for best drainage for rain or snow melt. Most people want to park close to the nearest opening doors of the store or mall. Parking so you can atleast avoid somebody on one side of you helps. Regardles some idiot will park to close to you even if there is an entire line of spots to avoid it. Usually some old jerk in a pick up truck so his wife has to tap your car just to get out.:dunno:

 

It looks like some of it will buff out.

Wash it real good and use a wax stripping soap.

Clay bar the area to remove any embedded particles

Use a moderate polish and buff out what can buff out. Avoid buffing around the deep scratches.

Clean the area again

Fill scratches with touch up paint. Use multiple thin applications and attempt to fill and get as little as possible on the paint around the scratch.

Repeat in several coats and build the paint up until the touch up in the scratch is thicker that the surrounding paint (will take a good 5+ coats).

Sand the area with 2000 grit sand paper until smooth.

look for any scratches that remain, any depressions, re-apply to fill, and sand any high spots.

Clean again

Polish with a fine cut polish until all sanding marks are gone, and it is smooth as glass.

Apply ONE coat of clear coat anywhere that you that you applied touch up paint.

let dry

Polish

 

thanks GCP i will try that this weekend, as for parking at walmart it was 2am and i didn't think someone would put a nice mark on my bumper at the time ha.

 

Be careful with retail clearcoat. I've seen it dry with a yellow tinge so a touch up can look bad because of the clear, especially on lighter colors and WHIITE.

Do yourself a favor and go to a good autobody supply store and get a quality clear.

Bro did you not park the car where all the GTRs and Corvettes park? I always park mine away from anyone who would dare to park next to it (if its possible...)

 

TL|DR

Correct answer:

 

2am is probably when the drunks go shopping

 

^ more like low life dirt balls.
