The cheapest is not to do anything. The scratch is small and low on the bumper.

Repainting would be best done as a whole bumper which costs P2,500 to P3,000 depending on the shop.

I have the same similar scratch in my lower left bumper which incurred when a motorcycle accidentally cuts my right of way. Lumitaw ung black primer sa scratch portion since it is the bumper that got scratch.

Saka mo na pagawa pag marami na gasgas. Sayang.

Pero wag mo naman sadyain na dagdagan ha.

Bumper naman yan. Plastic ata yan kaya di kakalawangin.

Just leave it. It's nothing. If you want, you can patch it with a small dab of paint, but the paint won't match properly unless you repaint the whole bumper... which will be wasted the next time the bumper scrapes a curb or hits a rock or gets dinged by a pebble on the highway.

That's why bumpers nowadays are plastic, because it ain't worth the hassle of caring for a metal bumper that's eventually going to be damaged, one way or the other.

to sir ghost hunter, retz, robot sonic and niky, thank you for those helpful and practical advice,normally it was not really obvious at an initial glance,it was just my meticulous care and obsessive-compulsive thought for my first car that made me panic and hysterical. thank you !!

i felt the same way as you do sir jonelrn when my new car had its first scratch. i immediately seek for help online and found this site and queried on such scratches and blemishes. Tama sila, just leave it muna.

If you don't mind, may I ask how old is your car? do you drive it daily?

Help po, first time driver first car po, had a bump po sa gutter nun mali po turn ko..ano po gagawin ko sakit kasi sa dibdib??huhu

[Polagon]

i know how it feels. hehehehe.. First time car driver rin dati.. although 3 years na. Scratched my windshield, dog scratches sa front bumper, RATS in the engine bay bringing Jollibee containers and nesting materials... hay.
all that in the first few months after i got the car.

I'am just going to float an IDEA.... just went over to toyota for scratch estimate... Puro superficial scratches on the bumpers... guess what.. they will charge insurance 31k and 2 weeks work !!!!

Can a business idea like this work? = rent a bumper, I'm sure these bumpers for different models are a bit predictable. Why not sell / rent / use for free a set of detachable bumpers while the original ones are on the works.... I don't care if the paint on the rented bumper miss matches.. thats a small price to pay versus waiting for 2 weeks.

my take, have it painted sa talyer. downtime is about 3 days or try car magic that repairs and repaint in 1 day.

prepare 2.5k-5k lang for the bumper repair.

saan yung bump sa tire sidewall? kung may bukol dyan sa tire sidewall delikado yan in high speeds.
kung hindi naman sa tire, itulog mo lang yan.... hehehehehe. for sure, madadagdagan pa yan......

kahit papano mo pa tingnan, ay gagastos ka ng papa-pinta.
puede mong is-prayan ng same or similar color spray, available from many auto parts or hardware stores.
puede ring pabayaan mo na lang. hindi naman kasi kakalawangin yan, a.

^ battle scar. have it repaired or replace, kung malaking gastos learn to live with[emoji6]
