Oh dear, I scratched my bumper.

This is very annoying. Didn't pull the car in far enough so it got scraped by the garage door. Has anyone used one of those mobile touch-up/repair services? I really don't want to take it to a full service paint shop and spend hundreds.

Do you have a random orbital buffer?  I'd buff what I could out and see what's left.  And for what's left just use touch up paint

Just take the bumper off and lag bolt a 4"x4" piece of tree corpse on there.

I have not had good luck with touching-up metallic paint. At least the brush applicator variety. Do you mean a rattle can & flatting the coats back with wet-dry paper?

Better just Rhinoliner the whole car.

Did the garage door survive the event?

True, touching up metallic is a bit tougher to get it looking good. 

First step, though, is to buff it.  I think you'd be surprised how much of the scuffage would disappear with a good buff, even by hand.  You'd pretty much just be left with the black spots where the paint is totally gone.

You could go through the time/effort of masking/spraying/leveling, but with scratches like that, I'd rather just buff it and cover up the exposed plastic spots.  Hides better than a fresh square of masked paint work.

There are guys that specialize in that kind of repair- usually they work for car dealers. That looks like about $300-$400 bucks to me.

Totaled.

I big MAGA bumper sticker would cover that right up.

Once you're done buffing it, all you'd be left with is a couple of super small what looks like pinhead size black spots to dab some touch up paint on

I think if I use gray primer in the  deeper gouges, followed by the touchup paint it should blend better.
