2016 e400 sedan paint damage on bumper
I bought this car a week ago with 30k miles and the paint is perfect except for one area. Anybody have an estimate as to how much this will cost?

Can you take a shot further away? It’s hard to see what you’re looking at and what is damaged.

As you can see from this picture, it’s at the bottom left between the wheel and the front bumper.

Is it scratched down to the plastic or is it just the clear that is scratched?

Honestly it feels rough and it peels a bit, so I’m assuming down to the plastic.

That's a beautiful E class

While it won't be perfect, you can use a product like Dr. ColorChip. I've used this and the defect is much less noticeable.

Thank you! I love the drive of the e400 so much. I’ll look into it and see what I can do.
