Take pics - how are we supposed to tell you if you can touch it up. Little paint is subjective lol...

Highly unlikely since you caused the damage...

You did quite a bit of damage there. Probably got it too hot. I'd have that fixed professionally..

Maybe $200 if they can spot repair it. It's got to be feathered in, painted and blended, then cleared and polished. More to do the whole bumper. Next time you do this, just leave it in the sun for awhile and cut the emblem off with dental floss or fishing line. Heat and prying ripped the paint off. Get a professional estimate.

I have a question though, he removed a "dealership sticker," which therefore is not part of the original car. Could the dealership be blamed though for adding this sticker/emblem to the car?
