Paint chip

Hey guys,
Some ******* hit my parked car and now I have a scratch on my front bumper. Anyone know where I can get it painted for a decent price? I'm located in the South Bay

Lexus IS 250 f sport
Starfire pearl

Thank you!

Pictures would be a good start so we can see just how severe the damage is.

Hm I never thought of doing that. Does it fade over time? Also, since my car is star fire pearl, I think it would be hard to match this paint

doesn't fade, I ordered the clear coat with the paint color which was a little better quality than in-store brands. Can't speak on star fire pearl but my tungsten pearl was EXACT

Not sure if Meguiars Compound will work or not.

+1 to touch up paint from scratch wizard. if you prime paint and clear. wet sand and buff itll come out looking new. if you want to paint it professionally they will paint the entire part.

I have crystal white and paint was good match. like 90%

Compounds will work assuming the mark is on the paint and not that the paint is removed from the bumper.. It looked like the paint had chipped off

that's pretty low scrape. my E60 has same thing and i think it is because the car hit the parking block or curb or something.

Looks like it is on the lip, so it is a small piece that looks manageable.
