Paint bumpers?
 

Some jackass did a hit and run on my bumper, clear coat is scratched and some deep scratches.

Just wondering, can I just sand off the clear coat and deep scratches patch with bumper bondo. then bring it to auto shop?

or

Do I need to strip the whole clear coat and paint to bare plastic bumper?

The reason I ask is because they want to charge me $400 to fix deep scratches and $300 for paint job.

If I fix the scratches myself by sanding of clear and patch bumper with bumper bondo it wold save me $400.

(to bad my deductable is $500)

Any ideas from the audi pros?
