  check with the Workshop first loh, see if they have the original paint color or not, but even if using the original paint and color code, still may be slightly different in the shade of the color. so its better to repaint the whole bumper instead of doing patch work, so the differences won't be so obvious.

  if i am not wrong, authorised workshop, dont reheat the dent area. they will change the whole bumper which will cost a lot more.. furthermore is merz... but is best for u to enquiry at the workshop for further details.
