    This looks like a great place to experiment with doing some work yourself.

    Pulling the bumper isn't hard, but you can also do the work on the car.

    Get some matched paint in a rattle can, then sand the area and prep with filler if necessary.

    Thoroughly mask off the rest of the car, you can get cheap plastic car covers on amazon that work great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQNA4SW/ref=dp_cerb_1

    Finally, spray it with the matched rattle can touch up and feather it in.

    The key will be to get some of the 2k clear 2 part rattle can stuff, then after it cures you can wet sand and buff it till it looks like new.

    White is Right, Steel Grey is OK, but Estoril is the only color that truly matters.

    I like Coupes.
