re paint front bumper
My 03 coupe's paint is good, except for some rash on
the front bumper and headlight tops. Any idea
what a repaint on those 2 would cost. The car has been garaged
so I hope matching the torch red would not be a problem

I just had my bumper cover painted in torch red for $275.00 and the match was perfect. I did the removal and the re-install.

Mine was $375 but had a few stress cracks that had to be sanded down and repaired. They perfectly matched the Artic White.

Looks great!
Did you also remove and replace the bumper yourself?

I'd say you can get all those pieces painted for $400-500.

Getting mine done in a couple of weeks. He's doing the bottom of the doors, clear blend the fenders and painting the front bumper for $850. He is a friend though. All the other quotes from body shops were quite a bit more.
My paint also has a colour flop which may be harder to do - don't know though.

Thanks for all the responses. Seem liked this shop was trying to take me to the cleaners.
Jabcat where did you get your chin spoiler? I want to buy one but one that is closer to the size of the factory ones.
