I got an estimate of over $2000 to paint my hood fenders and front bumper including rock chip fix. I thought it was too high.

I got a quote from my local body shop for $200 to repaint and install my after market front bumper. They paint the new after market bumper, take the OEM bumper out and install the after market one. All that for $200. They do a pretty good job on repainting my rear bumper. 3 years warranty. If you are in Socal, let me know if you need help.

As long as it's a reputable shop; that price seems fair. You can probably have it knocked down to $800 if you show up with cash in hand and forego the warranty.

Doesn't sound too bad if they do a good job.

I gotta check around my shops too for this. under 250 for front bumper sounds reasonable to me But should i should just save my money instead and purchase a KZ bumper. mines all chipped up because of my travels from the east coast to west coast.

I think you guys are forgetting he's talking about painting the bumper, hood, and driver/passenger front fenders. Not just the bumper.
