Yikes, at least its just cosmetic? Or is there a dent in the fender next to the front bumper? Should be an easy fix, just need to sand down the bad paint and respray and blend it back into the rest of the paint. Did you save any paint when you had your car sprayed?

If that's just paint from the pole it can come off with a polishing compound or even just liquid polish.I had a similar incident with a pole to my carport.I just used polish,rubbed it real hard and the paint from the pole came off.:lala:

Use 3M Rubbing Compound, then polish. It will come out! I had a mishap with a painted wooden fence, and I had 10x more on my car than you do, and it ALL came off!

Not too bad, looks like it'll come off except the nose, where it looks like the paint has come off.

MetalliCamaroRS is right, just use compound on it and it'll come off except where the paint is missing-i have to do the same 4 my car this morning, had a lil mishap the other day unfortunately!
