Unhappy Help! My Truck Has a Boo Boo

I was working at a camp last week, and there is a trail that leads to the lake and campsite. As I'm on my way out, I noticed some moron parks their car blocking the entrance to the trail.

It just so happens that I was running about 10 mins late to pick up my girlfriend, so I decided that I could squeeze my truck between the post on the right and a large dumpster on the left.... WRONG.

I scraped my front bumper on the dumpster .

Needless to say, I'm quite upset.

So, any ideas on how I should handle this? I have a bottle of the AQ (Arizona Beige) touch up paint on order (should be in this afternoon), but just not sure if this is a simple touch up.

Also, any advice on how to touch this up the best is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris



Here's some pictures:

The paint looks like more than a "touch up" job. if you knew how to paint and blend it would be different but id have it professionally painted

I myself would touch it up, but thats me. your truck is ALOT nicer/newer than mine.

and if you dont mind posting a picture of the other side. it kinda looks like the bumper is pushed down and in alittle.

next time some dumb ass blocks in a trail throw a tow strap on their vehicle and pull it outta the way if you dont see where they are at. people need to think about where they park their vehicles on trails
