A clay bar and some rubbing compound by hand will take 90% off that off (from the looks of it). But in some area's the paint will be rubbed off and you'll probably have some spider types cracks in the paint.

Same thing happened to my Audi... twice

Yeah, I think I can already see some spider cracks without using compounding. Would I need to get the whole bumper repainted? Or can I get those spots touched up?

How much does it usually cost to get the rear bumper painted? I'll probably just have the CETA mod professionally painted on at the same time.
