In February a neighbor backed into my 2016 Honda Accord Sport car scratching the left corner of the bumper. Minor paint but the whole bumper has to be painted so it all matches. Estimate is $600
Youtube videos show how the paint won’t match or blend in repairs, that is why the whole bumper has to be painted.
I suggest that mailman get a different uniform as dogs seem to like attacking anyone wearing it : )
“Youtube videos show how the paint won’t match or blend in repairs”
That’s why I buy cars generally in white or black, no metallic. Still get the paint professionally mixed, but can easily apply and blend it myself. Do have one “colored” vehicle, a gold-mist van, and with professionally-supplied paint did manage to blend a small mid-bumper repair successfully.
