Detailer needed for scraped bumper in or near Lumberton NC

[godfearingman]

Hi I scraped my front bumper and had an buddy suggest having a professional detailer look at it said they could possibly remove most of the appearance of it for a lot less than repairing it. I know most of y'all on here can help me out. The first image is right afterwards when I got home the second is evening. Thanks in advance for everyone's help and advice.

Looks like it may need touchup paint, can you feel it with the finger nail?

[godfearingman]

Yes but I'm wanting and hoping for a better looking and less noticeable appearance as possible. I know with touchup paint I'll still be able to see it very well. Had another buddy who said he had a worse but similar scrape and had a detailer reduce the appearance to at least 95% gone for under $50.

From the picture, it looks like the top scratch and most of the middle scratch could possible be buffed out, or mostly so. The bottom one ... doubtful, but again that's only from looking at the pics, I'm not there to accurately judge.

Maybe you could find someone who's good with an airbrush, and could 'fill in' the scratches that way, then let it cure for a few days/week and try a light polish to blend it in.

Just my $.02

think I'll go by a couple body shops and see how much they'll charge to fix it hopefully it won't be more than a replacement bumper.
