I scratched my rear bumper...
I backed in the wall of a parking garage and I scratched the rear bumper(right side). Not too deep but deep enough that a polish/wax will not help.
I went to my MB dealership and they told me instead of going to the body-shop, I can fix it by a simple color-work. I asked what's a color-work, he told me that they would sand it down and spray-painted the area. The result is almost like a paint job.
I do not understand this. For me, Spray-paint is still a paint job. Does anyone know about this?

It comes down to how pick you are. If you can live with noticing a slight difference in paint color/texture, then get the "color work". If it would drive you nuts to see ANY difference, then get the whole thing repainted.
