My cars bumper paint came off!?

Question

Okk I just hit a car and my bumper paint came off, do I have to take it in or can I paint it by myself. The car is black.

I hit my dads car on accident!

Answer 1

Take it to a body shop and let them paint it. They will do a much better job than you can. Plus I think you have to add special modifiers to the paint to have it flexible so that it doesn't crack when you hit something.
They also have the paint booth, that will control the air and the dust in the air too. good luck.

Answer 2

Go to the dealer and get a bottle of touch up paint. They'll need the car's VIN number(on the door jamb) and top of dash near the windshield. The reason they need this is to get the correct color code and be able to 'age' the paint to match the rest of the car. This is just a minor pigment adjustment. Every car succumbs to bumper hits and scrapes, so just cover it with this and save the cost of having a shop spray it.

Answer 3

Yeah, that is enormously real. The paint holds superb often, yet as quickly as scratched it shows a gap the place there is little to no bonding. If the bumper is metallic then the paint has an extra handy time sticking, however the comparable element nevertheless applies, get a brilliant sufficient scratch/dent/etc and paint will flake off.

Answer 4

take it to the shop they will do a better job but cost more than you expected because the shop will paint the whole bumper for you to make sure the paint won't partly come off in the future.

Answer 5

If you paint it yourself it won't look as good as a professional paint job and won't last as long. Price wise it won't cost you much.

If you have a professional do it, it should come with a warranty and last a long time, while also looking very good. It will cost you a decent amount of money. Anywhere from $500-$2000 dollars. Just depends on the shop and how much time they have to spend on it.

Answer 6

Bumper needs to be painted by:
Etching the existing bumper / paint with special primer
Paint it with special flexible 2-part paint
Bake it in low-bake oven

Answer 7

I'm aligning myself with Fordman-take it to a bodyshop. There are flex-modifiers that need to be added to the paint, and to be honest, how many do-it-yourself paint repairs have you seen that looked OK?Usually it lowers the value of the car to do it yourself and have it look like it!

Answer 8

paint it yourself
