FYI: if you have scratches, scrapes or other bodily abuse...

on your Suby that is,

You might call this guy:

Felipe Valenzuela @ 650 537 6418

he fixed the scuff on my rear bumper yesterday, at my office. Took him about 45 minutes, and when he was done the 6" scuff was gone and the bumper looked like new again.

$250.00

If I didnt hit anything and it wasnt my fault I'd make an insurance claim since I dont have a Deductible. $250.00 sounds like alot to fix a scuff

these are probably like the guys who go to some car dealerships and stuff. They pretty much sand it down, prime it a bit, match the paint, and spray it on. From what i've seen they use like a 2-3 coats of paint and 1 or 2 coats of clear.
