Default Bumper Repaint

I have an 01 Black Vert....The car is in excellent shape except your typical road rash on the front bumper fascia. I'm looking to get it repainted, but I'm getting prices all over the place. I understand you get what you pay for.....butI don't want to get raped either.....what's a good , fair price

I just had mine redone via an insuarance claim. I got hit by a hubcaps going 75 MPH. Removal and reinstallation was 2.7 hours. I got charged for three hours of body work and then paint. Also a new emblem. Total cost was $935. Paint match was perfect. The bumper was removed and painted completely.

I don't know if you have Carsmetics in NC but here in Fla they did a front bumper repaint for me and charged $300.

Came out perfect.

I've used them before and have never had a problem or a poor job.

Also, you can negotiate the price, "If I could get it done for $xxx I'd say go ahead right now but for the price you quoted I'll have to wait"

I had a small tear in the front fascia repaired then the body shop repainted the whole fascia to make it look like new. Total cost was $500 including removal and installation.

Wow, that's cheap. Last car that I had a front-end respray done on was about $1,800 when all was said and done. It was a difficult color though and required several paint stages, so maybe the vette is less labor-intensive.

Had mine done about three years ago and total cost was $500.00 and the color match was perfect.
