Scraped Front Bumper

[azurenights]

Hi All,

I accidently scraped my front bumper against a metal column as I was trying to park my car today. I feel like an idiot doing it, but I want to know how I can fix it up and how much it would cost.

There are no dents on the front bumper and I didn't see any of my car's paint on the metal coloumn I scraped against. The affected part is the front left corner of the car and nowhere else. Does the front bumper need to be fully repainted to remove the scrape mark? Are there any other ways of removing it? How much would each method cost?

thanks

clean and scrub the fk out of it, then use touch up paint.

after using touch up paint would you be able to tell it was scraped?
