How much $ to repaint the front bumper?

Just curious, roughly, how much it would cost to have my front bumper repainted. I have chips galore from the PO, and no clear bra

Thanks!

Paid 300 dollars for a great job. I didnt want overspray on the car so i took the bumper off at home and took it to the bodyshop.

I just had mine done a month or so back, and it was about $600 here in New Jersey.

They did a better job of matching the paint to the body panels, but I have a feeling the paint will not hold up as well as the Factory paint did (which really isn't saying much).

My autobody guy told me that factory paint as bad as it is, will last longer than any repaint. Time will tell

I have already got several chips in less than 1,000 miles. Hit a real bunch of sand/stones yesterday on the highway, and it chipped the hell out of the bumper........At least it looks better than my sandblasted original paint, which held up for 38,000 miles before I couldn't stand to look at it anymore

Well I just had some small tow truck damage and I went to the dealer and they quoted me $700 for the deep scatch repair, paint, labor, and removal of the bumper. The tow company should be covering the bill though. Time will tell.

I know a great shop in ATL that does my Nismo urethane front (from AutomotiveMods) for $250. Test fit, drills, paint, installation, and grill Check my my pics on the picture section.

k thanks guys

I was basically trying to weigh the cost of having my oem bumper repainted (+ clear bra) vs just buying a new nismo rep bumper

bah, it's so annoying how crappy the paint is on this car
