Paint

So Im super meticulous about my paint and unfortunately this weekend I backed up into another car, The paint on the corner of my read bumper is cracked and it just pisses me off. What do you guys suggest I do? Buy a painted bumper? Have a body shop re paint my original one? Do body shops have to paint the whole bumper or could they just patch it and blend it?

Best to have it properly painted. The bumper needs a special paint additive to keep from pealing and cracking. It is almost impossible to paint part of the bumper cover.
