fixing up paint

[MWAKU]

ok yesterday, i was parking and theres this stand sign, well i didn't know i had no more room, and i cracked into the sign. now the paint on my front bumper is all cracked, and i will post pictures later. but yeah, i can't really see any noticeable body damage besides the line of cracked paint down my front bumper! how much would it cost to fix it? like should i just buy second hand front bumper from the wreckers and get it painted or what? i just bought the car a week ago, and the paint looks new, looks like its had a respray, but i don't know. anyways, theres some color code on the door panel, and hmms. i bought it from a dealer.

you can go into any autobarn and use that colour code and they will mix up a batch of ppg auto paint exactly the same colour as your paint....but the application is tricky,even with the brush they supply you,you can still see where the mark is if you get closer than a couple of metres.....the only real way to apply touch up paint almost flawlessly is airbrushing.

call a mobile paint repairer/panel beater....pretty cheap because they dont have the overhead costs of a workshop and they can perform miracles on cracked bumpers

IF YOU REALY NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT LOOKS LIKE NEW PAINT LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES THERE GUYS THAT DO MOBILE CHIP N SCRACH REMOVAL AND REPAIR THEY AINT TO BAD ON PRICE COMPARED TO A FULL REPAINT OF BUMPER
