Front Bumper Re-Paint
Can anyone direct to a relatively inexpensive and reliable paint shop in South Florida where I can have my front bumper and one headlight cover re-painted millenium yellow to match the rest of the body color? About 2 years ago my father backed up into my car and i had it repainted. After sun and a crappy paint shop, the paint is a completely different yellow, more like pastel, and is all chipped (they didnt even use primer or a flex agent!) I need the paint to be blended into the body panels to match. Thanks for you help in advance!
Even a rough idea of what I should be paying for a job like this would be much appreciated.

Cost should be a little higher than other colors due to the tint coat that is needed.

Isn't MY a tri coat system, and very hard to match? I think I heard that...
If so it will have to be blended into the hood and fenders to properly match, and then everything re cleared...
That is the only right way to do it. A piece of advice: Remember - The customer always looks at the crack, not half way across the hood and fenders where only the trained eye can tell what was done.
Don't know what to tell you on the cost...Good luck!
