Default Huge paint scratch. Can I fix it? (Pic size 588kb)

Alright so I was at work and I came out to find this (sorry for the huge pic I just had to reinstall windows so I lost all my programs):



Is there any way I can fix this or is it necessary to take it to a shop?

usually shops have a schedule they stick by....

some shops might be able to do it fast some slow.... id say wait a bit and then shop around for shops that do good quality work

u dont have to repaint tha complete bumper -- take it to yoru local v0cational/tech skool that does autobody... -- they can fix it that, for usually just tha cost of material. - shouldn't be more than $100 -
--OR--
you can take it to a body shop, they will prob charge u alil-to-alot more.. o fix that....

~~~~~~~
tha skool i go to - fixed a guys lexus rear bumper he backed into a guard rail, dented tha corner of tha bumper & scracthed tha paint too - it seriously cost him like $40 ... the fixed tha damaged area, painted/blended & re-cleared the entire bumper.. looked like new...
