Anyone know how I can get this out

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

repaint or touchup is your only solution when the paint is gone.

:laughing3: Baaaaaahahahaha.

I would go to a junkyard and try to get a bumper cover from an STS of the same color. Too much work involved in sanding and repainting, and probably more expensive than buying a used one. They're relatively common and it shouldn't be too expensive. I'm not sure how this will effect trade in value, but if it DOES - I would replace the bumper cover completely.
