E93 M3 Rear Bumper Dent & Scratch

Hey guys, thoughts?

Is this past a “dent fix paint touch up” repair? I’ve never been involved in an incident like this.

I’ve seen websites where you can get a replacement painted and sent to your door for $1,500, but thought I’d check here first if anyone has had damage similar to this spot.

My dent guy have also sorted dents in the (plastic) bumber nicely. Yours look pretty bad with that cut, I'd still have a chat with a dent guy before I buy new.

I don't know if I'd trust a painted and shipped to your door body panel.

Besides possible shipping damage, paint match is more than just painting by paint code #. Every car is slightly different and a good body shop will adjust the mix to match.

Great point, I agree I’ll prefer to have a professional do the work and blend if needed. Anyone have a recommendation for the Charlotte area for bodywork?
