Lease return, need paint scratch fixed
 
I am returning a 5/yo Yaris lease next month and would like to have a scratch on the rear bumper fixed before hand. It's deep and all the way to the plastic. Anyone know a place that can do paint repairs without painting the whole bumper? I remember a car dealer (sold US and lease returns) near where I used to work always had a guy come in who would do minor bumper fixes but I don't remember what the name was.

I'm going to go to a few boy shops tomorrow to see what they would charge but for obvious reasons I want to do this as cheap as possible.

most body shops should be able to spot it while the bumper is on the car, if you tell them you want it done cheaply thats what they'll do.

colorworks is mobile and they're pretty cheap.

Thanks for the tips I'll make some calls tomorrow.

+1 for Colorworks. We were in the same situation when my GF had to return her lease. The guy fixed a deep scuff on the corner of the bumper and one beside the license plate. No issues when we returned it.

Just checked out their site. Definitely will check them out. For those that have used them, what to their prices range from?

colorworks does some pretty good stuff.
our dealership uses them all the time

So I got a quote back. $299 for the rear bumper for just a blend job in the middle. This seems excessive as a full bumper repaint can be done for $300-$350. I will be looking for other options.
