got a ugly *** scrape on my bumper....really looks like a key it goes like around the whole thing... and one in my hood also

anyway not gonna bother about someone keying my car but gonna repaint it.


any idea how much a decent paint job would cost? its black


for the bumper. the hood i think ill just buy a new one with cool design if i can find!!

i was thinking arround $400 to paint a front bumper? sand it and repaint. i can take it off myself to save some labor

Your location would be helpful for the estimate but I think in general, you should have no problem painting a bumper with $400.

you can take the bumper off and give it to the body shop to save some labor time / money.. but some body shops will not allow you to bring just the bumper... main reason is as a car ages the paint fades now if the body shop painted your bumper he would just paint it to look like how it did from the factory from day one.. so it will never match a 6 year old paint job... so good body shops require to bring in your car so they can paint match your bumper to the fenders and hood.. so it doesnt look weird....

and honestly you might only save 2-3 hours of laborsif you took your bumper off.. but you will have a non matching bumper and it might cost you a diffrence of around ( my guess 200 dollars )
