Price to re-paint front bumper

lhinojos · 07-31-2013, 02:11 AM

I've been going to several paint shops to get quotes to repair my front bumper, and they all say between 600$-800$. I feel like that's to expensive for just a front bumper. I just wanna know if that's normal or they're just over quoting because of the type of the car.

honestly it doesnt matter what kind of car, painting is painting. the labor is the same, but the only thing that varies is cost of the paint material. $600+ is def too high. there are plenty of shops in LA that I know that can do it for much cheaper.

in my area i got a quote between $500 and $650. guy said that includes all labor to remove the bumper, paint, and install it back. which should be nickels and dimes, but oh well.

i suppose paying by cash can get you a better deal as the shop wont have to pay the 3% or watever mastercard fee and watever fees.

after all said and done, i decided to just clearbra it before any more damage. i have 2 sesame sized knicks on my 4yr old bumper. i just touched it up and clearbra'ed.

That quote seems about right. I got a quote of $700 to sand down, primer, and paint (pearl white).

the 370z pearl white paint definitely cost more because of the paint material

I got quoted like $450-$550 like a year ago.

I paid $656 to have my rear bumper repaired and completely repainted. Match was perfect for magnetic black and took 3 days. Your price seems right.
