My car was hit last friday, need tips on how to repair broken paint

[mok4200]

Long story short, i was backed into at my driver side rear bumper, the dent popped out and broke off a bunch of paint, now im tasked with fixing it since i have PLPD. I'm trying to decide one of two ways, feather the edges 1" around and fill the center will a very very thin layer of bondo to re-level it, or just feather the area out more than an inch and just prime and paint. Any ideas on how to fix this?

What is PLPD?

PLPD is simply my insurance type, meaning i'm not covered when someone hits me, i have to pay out of pocket.

if you got hit, the other guy pays for it. unless its a hit and run of course.

id sand, prime and paint that up. and pray it matches. duplicolor rattle can works well.

i re painted both my bumpers with it. dont forget the clear coat too.

PLPD covers the costs of hitting someone elses vehicle, but any damage to your vehicle is not.

If someone hits you their insurance covers it. Unless they don't have insurance or it was a hit and run...

this..... It's all i had on my old truck, cause it was the cheapest insurance I could have. It was a beater, so i really didn't care if it got cracked up.

we call that liability insurance here. unless you get hit, its all on your to pay for the repairs to your car.
