Ugh - Scrapes from concrete column

[eyoo]

I was backing into a space in my office parking garage and scraped my rear panel against one of those painted concrete columns. The picture below isn't too clear, but the worst is the big scrape right above the gap between the panels. I can see metal in that one.

Any help on how I can fix these or do I need to hit the body shop?

Thanks in advance.

Kind of hard to tell from the picture... if the post was painted and the larger marks are paint transfer you might be able to save it. If they're actually scraped into your paint I'd say you're headed for the body shop.

You could try something out BUT you'll end up with deep scratches so if you want to fix it you'll need to get it repainted.

I'm not sure how new the car is but that damage needs to be repaired properly by a body shop.

I think you answered this one yourself. If you can see bare metal. A trip to the body shop is in order.
