Default Need bumper help

Some guy just hit my bumper today! I have no clue how he could not see my parked car. I have my car for a week. My car is blue, but I have scratches in the blue and the black on the bumper.

Does anybody know how to fix this the best way?
I don't have money to let it repaint!

Thank you, I love my VT too.

Not yet. It happened just an hour or two ago. It is dark now, so I will take pictures tomorrow. Luckily it is not dented!

Dam, that sucks... I wouldn't think that bumper/trim paint would match the OEM color of you moldings. You would have to re-paint the entire black trim.

How did the black trim part get blue paint on it? Dont the trim pieces come unpainted? That should compound off.

go to http://www.paintscratch.com and you can get you paint color in any form you want it, like in a spray can or in a paint pen. But take a look

as stated already, try compounding the painted part. It's worked wonders on my car (and judging from the picture, mine were bigger than yours) and for $3 -or 1.50 euro lol- , its worth a shot. The trim looks kinda ugly tho, so you might have to heat that part, rub it down a little and see if it solves the problem.

This trim was blue underneath I guess, so the black came off and it had blue underneath. I only found out when it happened. I bought the car just a week ago.

Furthermore: I have looked at the site with the paintpen stuff. I think we should have that closer to home, where they use euro's

J4D3R thanks for the tip. I will try the compounding. I just hope that trim will become nice again. Otherwise I might just spray that trim part black again.
