Scraped a high curb right below the driving light. Can the damaged area of plastic bumper be sanded and repainted without removing it. I've heard different views and was hoping I can get this repaired inexpensivly.

 

Any advise on this question...Thank you.

Usually no but it depends on how damaged it is, but go ahead and take to a shop and see what they say. IMHO the only way to paint a bumper fascia correctly is to remove it from the vehicle.

 

Ditto. But, if you are brave enough it is something you could do in a weekend. Go to a auto paint store and get them to match your color and put it in a spray can, they can tell you how much you need. Then just figure how to get it off and set it up on some saw horse and go to town.

 

Or you can try here. Haven't used them but looks like they will match colors exactly.
