back bumper rash Help
I found what appears to be someones bumper ( No they did not leave an I'm sorry ) marks on the right rear of my Black 2003. Its on the plastic bumper. I did use my Adams product to remove some/ most of the white leftover's but the Black plastic has a scratch/ loss of paint.
Do I need a visit to a body shop, or does someone have a suggestion.
Thanks
Mike

The rear fascia (bumper) is made out of RIMM urethane. If you cannot buff the damage out you will likely have to have the fascia resprayed with a blend. This is a very common paint repair technique, and due to modern computerized paint match ups produces a really good repair. You should expect to pay $400-$600 to have it done properly.
Depending on exactly where the hit on the rear fascia is there may be more damage. Removing the outer most tail light and looking inside of the fascia will tell you if there was any internal damage to the fascia-to-rear quarter mount points. Even the slightest tap can cause un-seen damage.

Can't hurt to get an opinion/estimate from a body shop. With no pics, it's hard to visualize how bad the damage is to the fascia.
