Default Rear Bumper Removal

The other day someone backed into my car on the passenger side. It only hit the rear bumper, I have a friend that works in a body shop that said he will paint it cheap but I need to remove the bumper. Is there a "how to" on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Easy to do.
-Open trunk
-Remove 3 or 4 (idk exactly) black plastic clips on the upper part of the bumper where you grab the bottom of the trunk lid to lift up. The clips should be in that are and easy to spot.
-Remove the 2 clips under the bumper. You'll see the two black plastic clips.
-Next remove the 2 screws on each passenger and driver side. The location is the rear wheel well arch. You will see one is hex/screw and the other you need a Phillips screwdriver to remove it.
-Unplug the license plate light.
-Start from the wheel well and put upward pressure and pull the bumper outwards(Use some painters tape around that are on your 1/4 panel to prevent scratching when removing the bumper. The rest is just carefully pulling the bumper off.

You may or may not need to remove the rear wheels. I didn't need to but, you might have to do so to access the screws. Depends on your tools available.
