Got rear-ended this morning. What would be the best course of action?

if you can guarantee that I won't look at my bumper after a good wash and see the difference then...

no problem, but generally, partial sprays are just a quick fix that you notice.

Since I'm not the one painting it, I unfortunately guarantee nothing!

Ouch. Sorry to hear, dude... I'm always paranoid it's going to happen to me. [knock-on-wood]

Any nice B5 S4 rear bumper/valence mods available? :)

j/k. sort of.

Definitely determine what type of damage has been done and if it's just aesthetics, probably not worth going through insurance, as some have mentioned.

FYI, from my brother's experience going the cheaper spray over solution from Maaco, it is clearly not as well painted as the factory paint job. Duller top coat finish and you can see spray pattern/blotches.
