Repainting front bumper

polarpanda · 04-18-2010, 03:33 AM

I have a crap load of rock chips in my front bumper, I am wondering if anyone know what it would cost to respray with some quality paint and clear coat, and if so, does that make it less likely to chip?

probably around $350 up to $500 for respraying and blending in your bumper.... as for being more strong and resisting the rocks.... naw man.... itll still chip even if you throw on the most expensive clear on that bumper... get it sprayed and invest in a clear bra... that will resist rock chips better...

It cost me around $800 to repaint my front bumper and hood, but that also included shaving the hamburger off.

The paint of the 370 compare with the one of the 350 is crap!

the 350 paint was crap too. But not as bad as the fingernail polish on the 370.

May be this will be your chance to get a body kit. Make sure to get a clear bra on this time

What is Nissan thinking? Never had a car with sucha PIECE OF $HIT PAINT from the factory!

LOL that was very encouraging responses. Yeah it seems like its a good idea to get a after market bumper at the same time. But damn repainting and clear bra is going to be 1k + should have gotten clear bra when I bought it

I scratched the paint on my red Z with my nails with no pressure at all... :/
