Hey guys, I recently backed into another car in my own driveway . It was hardly even a rolling hit, I had just let off of the brake in reverse when I heard and felt it hit. The damage obviously isn't very bad at all, no cracks or anything in the bumper, but there is a VERY light indentation in the bumper and the paint looks to be a little messed up, can anyone tell me how to go about fixing this or is it something that needs a little more than just a small fix? Thanks ahead of time for the help!

That's a plastic crumple. You can try to put some Bondo over it, smooth it out, and repaint it, or get a new bumper.
Not really much else since it's an actual wrinkle in the plastic structure.

i just showed this picture to a professional painter who does full restoration on ALL kinda vehicles and he said the only way to make it look like it never happened would be to completely sand and re paint the whole bumper. Silver is a hard color to blend and it will be noticeable if you just fix the one spot.

Thanks to both of you. Really appreciate the input, I'll probably end up doing what the second post said. I plan on painting the side skirts silver as well eventually, so since this isn't too bad or noticeable i'm just going to leave it for the time being. Again, thanks a lot for the input.

bondo on a bumper will never work...have at it since you choose the easier yet unreasonable way to go.

bondo is for metal not plastic. if it will stick it will be funny when you hit a bump in the road and a chunk just falls off! LMAO
