My tow hitch did some minor damage to the rear bumper cover of a white 97 Volvo 960 wagon. The car didn't look to be in that great of shape, but the owner is intending to sell it.

I'd like to get this repaired for her as inexpensively as possible sans Ins.

Does anyone have a source for the cover?
I can get it sprayed inexpensively.

Or can anyone recommend a body shop on the cheap. I'm in Durham.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeremy!

How many coats of white do you think it would take for the green not to show through?

Coat it with silver first and would only take one. Silver will mask any color in one coat...even black.

That's a great idea. Never would have thought of that.
Thanks.

I hate it when those tow hitches go wild on their own and hit stuff. :wink:
