Default Scratches on Rear Bumper...Advice??

The garage door scratched the rear bumper of our RX350 and was hoping someone here had some advice on how repair or at least minimize the blemish?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Unfortunately just like anything else, either buff it out, use touch up or else get it re-painted. Painted while the bumper is installed will be $700. Need to make sure paint will match. That's the tricky part.

Depending on the severity of the scratch(s), you could try some touch-up paint:

Like what they said, touch up or buff it out. Post a picture so we know how bad it is.

Definitely use Lexus touch-up paint if the scratch is minor. Get the correct color code # by looking at your side door sticker and then search it online. I'd also use Quixx auto paint & scratch repair system and then paint it over with a small brush that may find at Sally's store if you have to.
