Had your front bumper painted?
Within the next few weeks, I am going to be looking to get my front bumper repainted, due to a run-in with a freaking curb.
Has anyone had their front bumper repainted? If so how much did it cost you?
I have some very highly recommended places around my area to call, but I want to see if any of you guys had one painted so I have a price range. I am still going to call those places to see who has the lowest price, but I want to make sure they are not "ripping" me off.

Mike I would say somewhere around $500ish. It all really depends on who you take it to though. My front bumper needs a new painting as well because whoever did the job w/ the previous owner did a terrible one. Luckily that was the only place painted on the car.

I had the front and rear repainted with some very minor repair about 2 years ago. (no longer own the car)
I removed them myself and replaced them myself.
$ 550 for the pair. they looked as good as new.

I had some minor damage due to a runin with a damn DEER!
They told me the spiral grey would be hard to blend so they re painted the entire car...here are some pics...
The front bumper is new as they couldnt promise me the repair would hold over time....the paint for the front bumper cover only cost $435.00
Got the whole car done for $5,700.00

Yea that is pretty much what I was expecting. I was hoping more toward the $400 side... hopefully when I call around that's where it will be.
I have 3 reputable shops to call, and since they have all been recommended to me, I will just go with the lowest price.
Sucks, the car is practically brand new, only 8K miles on it, and it had virtually perfect paint. Now I have to waste money because of stupidity
Oh well, thanks for the responses guys.

Shouldn't cost more than about $250-300 to paint the bumper.
