Is this a reasonable cost for bumper painting?
I am looking at adding the facelift AMG front bumper to my 2009 4MATIC.

It will need painting - I have been quoted approx $930 (inc tax) for painting, fitting and wiring (DRL and parking sensors).

Anyone got a sense whether this is reasonable or not? How much have others paid for the front bumper facelift?

Advice appreciated,

Thanks.

sounds pretty reasonable to me, I got quoted to repair some scuffs and repaint my E350 bumper for $1700 i traded the car in, instead

Make sure you get a lifetime guarantee on the paint job against pealing. If the bumper is not properly prepped it will start pealing after just a few months. Go to a reputable body shop, not just a two man operation. They should tell you up front what their warranty is.
