    Hi,

    I have a couple of scuffs on my back bumper and I was wondering what else I could try to get it out or would I have to get this resprayed?

    I’ve heard there’s issues when respraying silver metallic cars which this is.

    Below is an image of the scuff:

    I’ve already tried Wax/Scratch removal but to no avail.

    Thanks a lot.

    Its hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like it is through the clear coat (and therefore have to be resprayed).
    Painting silver isn’t any more challenging than most colours. A good painter should be able to get a reasonably good match to what is already there.

    I did notice 2 things in your picture though. 1. it looks like your bumper is lighter than the body. 2. the bumper looks like it has popped out of its retainer.
