Scratched rear bumper, please help!

Hey guys, hope you're all well.

Yesterday I noticed that in the rear bumper, just below the backup sensor, someone keyed that section of the plastic and left a 15" long scratch. Fortunately, only the right side seems to be the deepest, but nonetheless I'd like to get that fixed.

Can you recommend the best way to take care of that? Thanks!

It woll most likely need to be sanded and repainted...if it is deep. Otherwise, a good body shop can try to color sand and touch it up, ot you could try a scratch remover if it is not that bad.

Some dealers can fix for about $200. A complete repaint of the bumper is about $700.
