how deep is the damage? if the paint is just scrapped off u can try touch-up paint. If the bumper is damaged or has dents in it, that is harder to fix. I unfortunately have like a dozen indentations from idiots who cannot drive/park and hit me so many times. I just leave them there cuz someone always hits me every few months, no point for me to fix it every time. =|

if its light you can try touching it up.. some ppl here have had good experience with that paintless dent stuff.. take a look as long as its not bent bad or a crease has been made it could be fix yourself.. if there is a deep scratch then even buffing it wont help

that's a lot of like....start with touch up paint...if that doesn't do it then call one of those places that'll charge $50 to buff out and sand down scratches....good luck....next time you should chase the guy that hits ya though....

In the back of my car, the paint is like scratched off but still kinda there. My car is silver and you can actually see black. I have the touch up paint but someone told me to use sandpaper to make it smooth, but I don't want to mess it up. Also my exhaust thing, is like dented that the top too. The one on the right. How can I fix that?

Plastic parts, ex: bumpers, are not as repairable as metal. It doesnt take much for a bumper to become impossible to repair without replacing it. Have a body shop take a look at it and ask for an estimate or post some pics and I'll take a guess. I do detailing for a honda dealer and i have to make decisions about whether or not a car can be buffed out or wet sanded or it needs to go to body shop to be repainted. Good luck
