Well ... at 5000+ miles and 4 months, I finally have a scratch. I've been very careful as to where I park the car so as to avoid people swinging their doors out next to me and damaging the side of my car. Figured there was less risk to parallel park. Well ... someone (I guess trying to get out from a parallel parked spot behind me) apparently scraped up against my rear bumper today.
There is a small scratch there ... no more than 1/2 of an inch actually. But it is very deep. Looks to me like it is below the paint (the car is steel blue and I see dark brown/black). From what I have read on other threads, there really isn't any way to touch up something this deep. I don't want to take a chance on doing anything myself. Am I relegated to needing to have the entire rear bumper re-painted? Anyone else have a similar situation and what did you do?
