Front Bumper replacement

Front bumper $350, to paint (materials and labor) Probably $350 for a well done job.

BUT Your bumper. It sounds like it can be fixed from what I have read. Id say if you wanted it repaired and refinished you’d be paying instead of $700, probably $500 - 600.

Which is way better than purchasing a new one because it will match better because instead of repainting the whole bumper which most people know the chance of a perfect match is 1 in 10 or less. Refinishing the current one would just consist of painting the damaged area, blending it with the rest of the paint, and clear coating the entire bumper.

I know this because I’ve worked at a few body shops and have done plenty of body work and paint myself. IF you have any questions please PM me and Ill help with anything.
