painting bumper covers

Ive got a 2003 camry with the silvery looking paint...my issue is that i slightly scuffed up my rear bumper cover and scratched a lot of paint off it, by backing against a rock wall accidentally....what will it cost to repaint this bumper cover and make it look decent, but not fantastic?

usually, shops charge around 250 per panel (if you want a decent/good job)

but if it's just a corner, you could try sanding it down, painting the non-painted parts with primer, and then using overspray, spray it yourself, sand, and then clearcoat

do this in a progression of steps with plenty of sanding and it usually comes out pretty okay

Had exactly the same situation with my daughter's Mitsu. Got the correct primer, color, and clearcoat from www.paintscratch.com . It was easy enough to do and the color match was dead on.
FWIW
YMMV
