Default Brand new paint ruined.

Well some ********** in a truck must have backed into me. Before I touched it there was an obvious tow hitch mark on the nose. I just got this thing painted last year.

How much would you expect to pay for just a bumper? I'm pretty sure it won't buff out.

I'm guessing $300

Bummer dude!!
3-400 is about right if they pull off the bumper.150-200 if they leave it on.

I only have liability ins.

And I'll take the bumper off myself if they want.

I don't know. Maybe I'll buy the materials myself and give it a go.

They may be able to paint it on the car by the looks of it. Did it crease the nose at all? Leave a divet? It will probably be a fair amount more than $300 if they remove the bumper. If they need the bumper removed you definitely need to remove it yourself to save yourself from paying a lot in labor. I would try and have it painted on car.
