Today, I had to go and park at our local public transit lot (MARTA). We were gone for probably 8 hours or so. I return to the lot and I notice that there is a black scrap mark on the corner of my rear bumper on the driver side (looks like scuff but my mom said it's the rements of the bumper being that the paint was removed). There was no note, no car in spot or any small evidence so I was pissed for a minute until I figured that there had to have some way for me to be able to buff, wipe, or scarp it off. I dunno, I simply wanna kno is there some way to remove this irritating mark w/o any paint or much money required. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

you can get some touch up paint at your dealer for like $6.50, definately worth it for those little nicks/chips and you could use it on your bumper.

If its just a scuff mark you can just buff it out with a good mild rubbig compund, if the paint was rub complete off the bumper then ur only option is to paint it. Id try the rubbing compund first, before you do anything.

My driver side look brand new like from the Factory. On my Passager side my car look like it was short with a M16 and a AK47 all together. The last time I counted I had about 27+ Door dings on my passager side. The lady that own the car before me she was the Org Owner. she told me the reason why is Her Parking sport at work is on the end of the lot where no one can park on the left driver side unless they part on the Grass. so yeah I am using all my power to get it all off. so far I think I am down to 15!:ylsuper

Thanks for your concern guys, this morning I went out to look and see if it was rubbed down to the paint, and it is. I'll just have to live with it until I can handle it, or see if a Nissan dealer carries the champagne (sp?) color for a 91 model as suggested. We'll have to see......

BTW The 240 is at my Uncles house waiting to be repaired ( so much needed to be done yet so little to spend)... so for the last few months it's been my moms 91 Stanza, even with the few little scraps and dings it's still one of the cleanest Stanza's out there so that explains my anger.

Trust me never ever park your car anywhere near Marta, Chamblee area. Since I use to live in Chamblee Tucker RD and I am Chinese so I go to china town, Asian Sqare and stuff. As you can Tell I am also IN ATL!
