I'm the new owner of a Rav4 - only 6 months old! I was backing into a parking place and as I shifted into park, my car rolled back against a rough concrete pillar. A chunk of the concrete 'chewed up' a 1" spot on the top of my rear bumper and also caused a few 'spider' marks. No noticeable dent. But, the mark is driving me crazy!! Is there anyway to repair myself? I hate to buy a new bumper for such a small mark, but it's like the elephant in the room every time my husband or I walk into the garage. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

Well, no touch up paint is going to fix that. Put some duct tape over it. Problem solved.

A body/paint shop can fix you up. Don't think you need an entire bumper, but the entire bumper should be repainted. You get color matching problems if only a section is painted. Depending on the shop.
