Default Front Bumper Paint

I have some road rash on the front bumper of my 03
torch red coupe. The rest of the car is mint. Does anyone have an idea what the cost would be to have the front bumper painted
and how much trouble will they have matching the color.

Thanks

A repair shop can tell you the charge.

To have the front bumper painted can cost anywhere from $300-600. You get what you pay for though. Some places actually take the bumper off and some don't. If it's not a color change and depending on how well they can match the color and blend it in they may not have to take the bumper off. I had a bumper painted twice on my vette. First time the bumper didn't come off. A full bumper paint and blend to the rest of the car was $500. Second time was changing bumper out anyway so the new bumper was already off and cost me $500 still. This was on my black 99.

Shop around and see what seems to be the best deal at the most reputable shop you can find. Good luck.

I had a small crack in the front fascia repaired and the whole bumper repainted and it cost me $500. Of course, the labor rate your shop charges may be different.
