Cool Sport bumper ding/scratch

I have a red 04/04 F250 CC sport edition that someone in pismo (oceano dunes) decided needed a ding in the frount bumper. It is about 1/4 inch ding(the metal is acutally not dented) that is all the way to the metal. It looks like someone in a quad rode too close to the truck and nicked it.

What is the best way to repair this. I dont want to see my wife out there with the nail polish!

Look at the before and after pics in the Paint Refinish album of my gallery and the thread I started about www.themav.biz

This is a local bud in the DFW area, but he tells me there are franchises all over the place...
I had a DEEP gash in the back door of my Ex and a bad scrap on my front bumper where I pusehed a street sign down in the parking lot...

He "basically" buffs it out with this special chemical that heats and rebonds the paint --- COULD NOT TELL I ever had an issue there !
Except that it looks BETTER than the rest of the truck

HIGHLY recomend this...

Just the repair up front was gonna cost me $400...
he did them all for less than $100... but that was a bro-in-law deal...

Geeeees...I kinda liked the nail polish idea. My teenage daughters tell me the sparkle / metalic stuff should look pretty cool in the sun.

I pulled my bumper off and sent it to the powder coater. Don't have to worry about chips or scratchs anymore.

how difficult was it to match the paint, and about what kind of cost is involved?
