The previous owner of this car had hauled some stuff in the back and used the back bumper as a sliding rack or something...who knows what it was used for. Needless to say, it looked pretty bad.

So, on a nice sunny weekend and a can of standard gloss black auto paint from Autozone, some paint tape, sand paper, and filler, I spent about a half hour of work, a couple of hours of drying time, and the results are in these pics:

note: the mirrors were also done in this fashion...

Nice fix

Nice fix for your particular problem. Creative at least, makes the car more 'yours'!
Didja ever notice that some sob's will go out of their way to 'key' a neat little car, just 'cause they 'feel like it'? I'm pretty sure that's what did the rear bumper on mine in the same area. :twisted: You'll probably hear it on the news if I ever catch one doing that again. :x "Car vandal found hanging from tree by gonads in Walmart parking lot!" "Details at eleven."
