Taurus Paint Fix

Hi everyone. My buddy hit a Ford Taurus (I'd say about 2002 or so) really lightly in the snow. He took, I'd say, about a 2 inch by 2 inch chip off of the paint on the bumper. There was no dent or scratch, just a chip of paint off. I'm wondering if anyone knows (even ballpark is fine) what it would cost to fix something like that? He didn't exchange info and he's just going to pay for it out of pocket.

Any info would be greatly appreciated - thanks so much!

I am in the Atlanta area and something like that I would charge about $100 to repair. I have my own business doing just what you are talking about. Bumper repair is one of our specialties. In most cases there is either no primer applied at the factory or it is a water based primer that is terrible. That is why the paint flakes off so easily.
