So I scratched the rear bumper on my coupe and though I'd try painting it myself. So I spent $80 on materials and sprayed it in the garage(I already have spray equipment). Apparently there is a small amount of gold flake in TB and I didn't shake base coat enough or too much don't know which and there is too much flake in the areas I applied the base. Aside from looking permanently dusty at less than 6 feet away it turned out good.

Approximatley what should I expect to pay to have shop repaint it if I take them just the bumper?

 

600 and up. Depends on overall fit and finish.

 

have any pictures?

 

:x im doing the same ****, except the front bumper..

 

I plan to just drop the bumper off to get it sprayed, I was thinking more in the 200 - 300 range.

I'll try to get pictures, it will probably be difficult to get it to show up though.

 

A spot-on job for a respray in the MD/VA region should cost ~$500, on average at a decent shop you should be looking at $200-$400.

 

Looks good now.
