Was getting a hair cut, come out and see the following......
So I got an estimate from Armen's Auto Body and he told me it will be around $500. For the time being I made a decision to do what ever I could to make the damage less visible. Results were sealed in with Megs Carnuba & then NXT Sealant 2.0 over it.
Step1: First step was to take a better look at the original damage, there was surface scratches which was hard to see in the photo above the deep 1/4 scratch. Burgandy paint left on the right side of the bumper needed to be buffed as well. Person when hit my car pretty much damaged the whole face of the bumper but scratches came out fairly easy because as we all Know Honda has soft clear coat compare to other cars such as BMW and etc...
Step2: Here you can see everything is looking just fine after 2 applications of TW Polishing Compound for surface scratches.
Step3: Time to start working on the scratch which I had a feeling is not going to get much better but we will see...
Step4: Scratch has 5 layers of paint and ready to be left to dry overnight
Step5:12 Hours later using 2000 grit I sand everything down so the 5 layers of touch up paint is flush with the clear.
Step6: Same is done on touch ups I made where missing paint next to plate was from people hitting my bumper when parallel parking in Boston. Peoples plate screws always tear right thru Honda's soft paint
And the Final Results...
Up Close: Scroll up and take a look at Step4, as you can see sanding made the touch up less noticeable. But the damage was WAY too deep to make it look unnoticeable
