Touch up paint or Bodyshop repair?
Hi All,
My C300's front right side bumper got scratched up. White plastic is showing in few spots. I was wondering if I would be able to fix the scrapes using touch up paint from a MB dealer or I will be better off getting the paint fixed by a auto body shop.
Obviously, it will cost me few hundred dollars if I go to a auto body shop for the repair which I am debating!
Your suggestions will be much appreciated!
Thanks!!!
P.S. Attached is a picture of the damaged side of the bumper.

Depends how picky you are honestly. I would get the entire bumper repainted personally but if it won't bother you to see it touched up then its definitely the cheaper route. I had the same type of scratches but luckily they got covered by my lip when I installed it as the were under the bumper and not on the face of it.
