I was making a 3 point turn today on a small street. I drove into someones driveway and as I was reversing back, I ran straight into a Shopping Cart that some F#@$ing idiot left on the street. I have a deep scratch on my bumper now http://toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

Does anyone know how I can fix it! and if I use touch up paint, will it be noticable?

I am so f#$@ing pissed off right now!

If it is just a scratch you can blend it with a very very small amount of thinner and then wax over the top of it. Obviously thinner removes paint so you have to be careful and this is a little tricky. There is also products on the market (a european one called T-cut) which are very good at removing stains. I have T-cut for my car, it basically blends the paint on your car and you buff out the scratch with it. Similar to thinner. Other than that you can get it re-painted at a bodyshop. but that will cost some bucks.

m8, go to the canadian tire at laird and eglinton... right in front, there's a tent with those guys fixing windshields... talk to them, they fix scratches... i payd 100$ cash, the guy fixed a small scratch on my rear bumper and repainted about half of it, u can't see a darn thing, perfect job... i think it's worth it... i'm gonna go there to do my fromt bumber when i give the car back (darn low bumpers)... if u want, i can get the phone number on monday... mail me at nico@rocanada.com to remind me if u want...

damn yo.... too bad about your bumper, i'm sure you can fix it at minimal cost.
i HATE shopping carts and especially hate people who leave them in parking lots! http://toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif
i always try to avoid those spaces near cart return places and rather park farther to avoid dings and scratches....

Hey Chopstick,
Sorry to hear about that. I need to buff out a scratch on my rear bumper as well. Someone suggested this joint in Brampton that does stuff like that. Read the post on buffing out scratches.
Hey, do you go to UofT? I live in the Annex area and wouldn't mind checking out your mods when you are on campus.
Btw, nice sig. You should make that into a sticker and I would buy it from you.
cheers,
Harrison.
