Bumper damage question
I am having a bad bad day because of the house painting experience from Hell. The worst part is that today they backed their trailer into my car and this is the damage. Any ideas if the bumper will have to be replaced, do they usually have to blend panels when they spray a bumper?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Oh my. Glacier Frost....
Where ever you take it, make sure they use the proper paint code for Lexus and do the proper stages in the right order while painting. Do not let them "match" the paint.
I didn't buy a GFM because I saw the terrible paint match someone did. They even offered to paint it over but admitted there would be no promises.

OMGF is right... the only negativity with this color is that its really hard to match... from the pics, i dont think you really need to get a new bumper... the bodyshop may just take the dents out and have the whole bumper repainted. since its your bumper, im thinkin the front end of the fenders or all of the fenders may need to be repainted to match from the sides and the hood... but the one repainting your car should know more... glacier frost mica is a hard color to match.... goodluck though and let me know how the end result is... i had to go through a repainting process myself with my starfire pearl. goodluck
