Default To repair/repaint the underside of my front end

Ok, well I guess we have all done it. But when I first bought my 911, back in Sept, I didn't have a feel for how low it was. I had two big lessons and it put some pretty nasty scrapes on the underside of the bumper. They can't be seen, but I know they are there.

I have been thinking of a partial repair. I don't want to do a full front bumper respray because I have xpel covering over the top portion of the bumper. I was thinking of having the shop fix the gouges, and do a respary of the underside.

If I was still whacking the underside of the bumper, I wouldn't consider it, but I have figured out how to navigate bumps pretty well and I hope it won't happen too much, certainly not like the first two times...ouch.

Have any of you had the underside repaired? What do you think/recommendations? What would you expect the cost to be?

Thanks,

I'm saving up to buy two gallons of paint for the underside of my car. Roads are so terrible, and butt clenching does not help the impact.
Can't see it, I still know, doesn't bother me.
Sliver suntan cream marks on the door panel? Look out.

Just leave it alone. Seriously. There's a 50/50 chance a body shop will screw something else up in the process. No one will ever see it and you will forget about it eventually also.
