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.
