can i get away without repainting the whole bumper? no professional tools here, only touchup paint and clearcoat. any suggestions accepted.

EDIT: how do i buff out scratches in clearcoat only?

the only way to not have the entire bumper painted is to replace it with a new red one.

You could do doggy's idea he left with what Coomer could have done:

"you should left uncovered bigger area then painting, then instead of painting till the ends, just faided a bit with the paint. It would be easer then to sand and to match everything...."

touch-up would look like ass, IMHO.
i'd get it sprayed, too big of an area.

i've fixed alot of touchups like that especially on bumpers, but since you dont have the tools it'll be harder. I'd suggest taking it to a nearby shop that could do it, all they would do is sand it down smooth and repaint that section since you have the original paint. but it shouldn't be noticable if you do it right.

yeah a shop could blend that section

I had my bumper redone (similar in size) a few years back and they charged almost $1000 thru the dealer. Mainly for the cost of blending, insurance coverered the cost so I didn't care. If I were you I would replace with red factory bumper or spend a little more and wait to get the entire car repainted.
