Some people can't parallel park!!!
Some idiot can't parallel park and did that to my brand new car. Buff and repaint the damage area? or just paint the area? The paint is chipped.

Somebody hit me couple months ago in the rear bumper on a regular parking next to the supermarket. I decided not to touch it until the spring and later on I just covered it with bumper sticker

That's too bad! I've never messed up anyone's car & I would hope they'd care about their own car to not to do anything to mine.
Sorry you have to spend your money to fix it.

I would try touch up and later buff first. Well, it will not match the original. But might be acceptable. I am sorry for you.

I managed to get a very similar chip on my front bumper over the summer (I also have a silver Rogue). I bought the thinnest brush I could find at an art supply store (I think I used nylon, not 100% sure, though) and applied several coats of touchup paint over the course of a week or so. The pen part of the touchup paint container is hard to use with such a big chip, and the supplied brush was way to big for me. I found that if I applied 1 layer per day (to allow ample time for drying) in a single stroke, I got a fairly uniform paint distribution. The key is to get it in one stroke so you don't end up with too much texture. I finished it off with a thin coat of clearcoat when the filled in area was level with the surrounding area. It isn't perfect, because you won't be able to get it completely smooth (like the rest of the car). But, it looks much better than a chip and could probably be brought to a detail shop eventually to smooth it out.

I should have said: I agree with the post above. I belong to 3 or 4 car forums and sometimes use terms common on some but not used at all on others. Sorry.

cdmuile, instead of 'X2, X3, etc' use '+1' and/or comment.

I fully admit I cannot parallel park, nor do I ever try to! I only park parallel if I can drive into the spot.
