Default Help. First scratch

I don't know what the hell happened. I was walking around looking for imperfections to clean up and I saw this. Some paint has been scratched off and some has just been scraped just under that. I'll take it to a shop and see what they say but I know they'll most likely want to repaint and no way I'm doing that for the little bit of damage that's there. And touching up is a hit or miss I believe and I've never done it, the whole "it will never be the same" ordeal. Let me know what I should do! Thanks!!

Worth touching up with one of the factory paint by touch pens. Just be happy its just the bumper cover and not a door or the hood.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Still quite the damage for a shopping cart but thats my initial assumption.

Yeah one of the many reasons I went with sterling grey. Picked up a dupli touch up pen today so when I get some time I'll see how that goes. Also gonna go by a shop and see if they can do a professional job without painting the bumpers all over again
