My stook has a stock nose and I was backing into a strange driveway today and scraaaaaaape, aaaaaaaargh. I buried the chin into the asphalt good. Now the passenger side of the chin looks like it has razor stubble hanging off the bottom. What is the best way to handle this. Fortunately, the paint that was removed is all under the chin where you can't see it. I just want to remove the "stubble" and keep the paint from peeling. Any suggestions aside from telling me what an obvious dumb a$$ move that was is welcome.

don't feel bad. i was out driving a couple weeks ago, hit a bump in the road. Rear end left the ground so high I scratched underneath the nose. I don't have a front lip either

if you're REALLY concerned then I'd say sand and paint.

I've had similar scratches on other cars. The OEM paint didn't peel. If a lot of black is revealed, I'd get an estimate. They may also give you alternatives.
