Long story short - I was reversing and looking into my camera (silly I know) and I grazed a Subaru Liberty - Metallic Pearl Black in colour. Some scratches but no dent damage so I though I might leave a note and pay for a touch up person to fix it.
Anyway, the 'victim' got back to me today and has mentioned that the Touch-up people can't do it because it needs surface repair + painted + heat cured? Is this true for this paint?
Reason I'm asking is because for a body shop (of his choice) to paint is $620. Which is ridiculously high considering a friend had his bumper resprayed for <$400.

Na, its not dented but its to the plastic of the bumper. I can provide a pic but I had a feeling what fitter said was right.
Unfortunately I know for the person involved its a big hassle to get quotes. I've done this before and its not worth it. I don't mind paying it... it was my mistake after all.. just didn't expect it to be that much.. I can see why people drive off :P
Yes, I am now re-thinking about this good karma stuff... haha... still waiting for something good to happen to me...

HEre you go:
Sigh. Yea, can't believe its so silly expensive nowadays. My excess is $600 (was $400 2 years ago! why is the minimum is so high now!?!?!?) so I might as well go with paying this outright. Touching up my car will fix my side of it haha.
