Repaint, Possible to do it yourself?

Hey Everyone. Some loser kick my front bumper today, and left a couple big scuff marks in it. Any way I could TRY and buff them out, or is it possible to repaint myself? Or should I just pay 200 or 400 or whatever and have my whole bumper sanded and repainted? Let me know, thanks.

Do it yourself....or let the bumper get abused more then get it done professionally. Honestly....bumpers take so much abuse....be it a scrape...kick....anything....**** happens to bumpers....you'll get it repainted and have it chipped again in under 4 weeks.....I'd hold out as long as possible....doing it yourself can come out nice if you do it right....

yeah its possible to do it yourself but if you have to ask your probally not ready to. if its way obvious and your really worried about it get it done also make thee guy who kicked it pay for it. Otherwise bumper coveres can tend to take alot of abuse depending on how you treat the car so unless its totally obvious and you have the money get it done or try same light wet sanding and buffing with a little touch up might do the trick.

I dunno who kicked it. It p*'ed me off though. How do you wet sand. I did a pretty good job painting my interior, and I know this is different. So do they sell a spray paint I could use? How do I wet sand? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks again
