Dings and Scratches..

My front bumper seems to have some dings and scratches. Which really is to be expected after a while. My question is how much is it usually to get just the bumper painted? I live in Wisconsin don't know if that matters. I did ask just randomly how much it would cost to paint my whole car at the "infiniti dealer bodyshop" he told me 9grand..... Seemed a bit high! If anybody has an idea please let me know!

Thanks

It really does matter where you live, even within cities. I paid $500 to have my bumper repainted a few weeks ago. While at a meet one of the members from a bodyshop quoted us $135, but his shop is 60 miles from my front door which makes it impossible since done correctly it takes at least 2 days. As you can tell prices vary, shop around or check your REGIONAL area here on Driver for member suggested shops. I wouldn't let Infiniti stealerships paint my coupe even if it were covered by my insurance!

it shouldnt be more than 500 - def not thousans!? thats crazy money. esp if its a factory color - now if it were custom and done right then i could see higher in the single digit thousands. good luck shop around and get feedback from customers who use them and to compare prices - def need to make sure its A+ quality with paint
