    so I came out his morning and my Tacoma silver sky has a pretty deep scratch and red paint on the bumper. Any idea on how to fix. Or is this now a "character flaw"

    Some detail shops can make you happy with what they have to work with. Probably won't be "perfect" but it should look heaps better.

    Wash the truck. Put some primer in the scratch. The red should come off with some car polish. You can get 1oz of touch up paint off the web. Your paint code is inside the driver door. Sorry about the scratch, but its a truck.

    Detailing clay will take off the paint transfer too. When you fill the scratch with touch up paint build it up, then use a 2000 grit wet sanding pad to sand it smooth. Polish and you should be good.
