Paint stripped during number plate swap

[beatty599]

I have a specialist rubber piece for number plate sticker removal and it works fine on all cars, i know this as my friend is a mechanic uses it but it decided to strip bits off paint from my bumpers more than just in the image.

What do you think I should do?

Should I try and contact VW see if their warranty might cover it? or just take it as a loss and fill it in with bit of primer and cover it up with the number plate?

I've seen this happen many many times

Prime it and give it a coat of colour to match. VW won't be interested. They'll say the adhesive tape used was too strong

at least it won't rust since it's on plastic

Haha that's one upside i suppose

Thanks for the advise, it must be a thin coat on the bumpers for it to be stripped off so easily.
