Repaint the front bumper.

Find a reputable shop.

Dont pay or accept the car unless its perfectly matched.

Mitsubishis factory paint job sucks, as does most manufacuters, my car came from the factory with orange peel. Alot of mercedes come with orange peel. Factory paint can be beat at a GOOD shop.

Just dont be satisfied with any thing less then perfect.

the way i see it, if you think your getting a good deal... its probably because your gonna regret it later. idk just how i feel.

but it its just the lip section try to get something to replace it like a CF lip or w/e or anything that will cover the spot

So when i got home i looked at the driver side bumper and its scratched badly there is hardly any paint on it. So i was just wondering should i let it be or get it repainted? I have also heard that an aftermarket paint job is not as good as factory since they cant bake it well enough is that true?
Next time don't listen to your friend. Listen to your instint my friend.

I would just take the lip off and have that repainted by itself, no need to do the entire car.

Unless the scratches aren't very deep then just use some factory touch up paint.
