well I'm not saying you should do this too, but my friend f'd up his bumper by hitting a patch of a ice, sliding hitting a rail and scratching it too. all he did was, bondo, sand, then went to o'reily to get a can of his car's paint, and a can of clear coat. one weekend later, without a real close inspection, you could not see that there was an accident there on the bumper.

FWIW, if you block out the only important part of the VIN, and don't even take a picture of the correct VIN plate, how do you expect us to know your paint code (though I know most will)?

It's on the VIN plate on the firewall in the engine bay.

I would imagine that most people will tell you that it won't really look right unless you get the entire bumper repainted

Decoding your VIN number: http://www.courtesyparts.com/specs/vin.html
Body Color Code:
AL0 RUBY PEARL
AR2 CRIMSON BLAZE RED
AX5 NEW RED
BN6 STARFIRE BLUE PEARL
BT4 LAKESHORE BLUE
BV3 SATIN BLUE PEARL
CG2 PEBBLE BEIGE METALLIC
CP2 MAHOGANY PEARL
DJ2 BLACK EMERALD
DP0 DEEP EVERGREEN

Use the silver plate on the passenger side, that is attached to the firewall. It will show you your paint code.
How you do it is up to you. Autozone carries most of our colors that are listed.

My maxima is tan too and has similar scratches on it in the rear. It came from NYC and so it's another victim of NYC parking. I don't mind it though since it drives good. Good luck.

Looks like CG2 to me. Just get a can of Pebble Beige Metallic and clear coat and your set.
