ICBC does allow the at fault person to pay for ALL damages without their premium.. BUT ICBC must approve of this... dont just do it without them knowing..

i'm usually pretty anal but in this case i would probably just ask the person to pay for touch up paint pen + an exterior detail.
I wouldn't recommend repainting or putting a claim over something like this, but it's your car. Isn't WDP going to be pretty tough to paint match?

You are driving in Vancouver, in an acura sedan. This car isn't a gullwing 300sl. I can appreciate a certain level of OCD when it comes to car ownership, but man you gotta be realistic about what to get bent out of shape over. He literally hit you going 2KM/H
Tell the guy how much money you want for it, and if he says no, go to ICBC. Make this easy.

Perhaps its my pictures but I went to 2 body shops and both saw damage. Quoted for 800 and 1100.
Will be resolved shortly as the guy is very cooperative. Thanks guys.
I admit it is small damage, but when its your car that's been hit your mindset is different than when you see someone else's car being hit.

Probably cost way less if you just say paint my bumper

That bumper takes about 10 mins to remove, not a huge chunk of the labour

30 minutes would still only cost like 40-50 bucks at shop rate.

It's because if you repaint the bumper, they often have to repaint parts surrounding it as well to match the new paint, like the trunk, rear fender, etc. And a proper shop would have to disassmble or mask parts really well in order to paint those adjacent panels.
Now this might be an exception, cause plastic bumpers generally don't have perfect match with metal panels anyway, so the match painting to the adjacent panels might not be required.
But you know autobody shops will always try to milk as much money as they can, so yeah, I do think $800 for that is rather high.

Car was previously no accidents and now bumper has been repainted twice

Advices? | You have his balls in a vice. Get everything repaired and then buy yourself something too. Whatever the cost to repair is, double it and then put a turbo on it.
Because fuck him. If he doesn't want to ICBC, then he's going to have to pay out the ass.
Otherwise, just report it. No fucks given.

I think that counts as extortion.
