So after a month of tourture, i finally took it into a body shop and said I need this fixed. It cost me 250.00 but well worth it.

I am.. Although the paint isnt 100%.. I guess it has to cure for 30 days, then they buff it out and add a what they called 'paint hardener'. Not sure but hopefully it helps with some of the impurities i noticed when i got home

This kind of dent doesn't just pull out using a small suction cup? Doesn't look like it got cracked.

no the body guy had to heat it up and use a padded mallet to pop it out, and then i had to have the whole bumper repainted from the scratches.. dents only up to 4'' can be popped out with a suction cup

From what I have been told it is easy to take the bumper off. I had mine repaired by a body shop so the only labor i had to do was drive it to the shop. good luck

Thanks yea i would normally leave the car intact and have them just respray it (and all thats implied of course) but i dont know how long it would take and i dont have another vehicle to use if she has to stay over night soo that would be my issue its really not a big scratch/scuff....most of it can be buffed out but there is a gouge in the paint and the car has just over 5K miles on it so i dont wanna drive around in her for the rest of the time i own her looking like crap...my taurus i only spent 3 grand for i didnt care too much but this one...lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/liebe011.gif)
