scratch on bumper - n1ibor - 21:st-Jun-2014

so i parked my car at the pub last night and i just noticed a scratch about +- 5mm by 1mm.
someone came to close whith the pedal of their bike and took the paint off.
normaly it's just the usual people but it was really busy last night, lot's of people i've never seen so i have no clue who did this.
Would it be expensive to repair?

You might get away with touching it up and using some cutting compound to flatten it back then some polish. If not then try using chips away

You can buy touch up pens which include the correct colour and lacquer

i painted it up a while ago, and if you don't know it you won't see it so i'm ok with that.
Also had a bit paint come of the front of the bumper because of little stone impact on the highway.
And it seems the paint is a bit thin.
but it is my fault really because it happend when i when i took the car on a vacation the germany and, well the german autobhan was to tempting
