Price to Repaint WHITEOUT front bumper? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

914_WHITE_FRS · 02-08-2014, 06:09 PM

Hey I live in New York, And I had my car for over a year and half, I have a lot of scratches under the front bumper and dings and chips on the bumper that can only be visibly seen if you get very close. I now have a front Stivo front lip that is covering all the scrapes under the front bumper but would like to get the whole front bumper re-painted again. Does anyone have any ideas how much it would cost to get the whole front bumper repainted whiteout? It doesn't matter if the new paint matches the side panels.

Just paint? 350-450. I just had half of my bumper repainted for 200. Realize they will probably need to refinish the bumper too because the rocks that hit it to chip the paint have probably added imperfections to the bumper as well. Painting over it will seal those imperfections. Paint matching is a lot better than it used to be even 10 years ago. A good shop will not have trouble and there shouldn't be a surcharge for the white color.

I recently went thru an insurance claim and the total bill was around 1400 bucks just for the front bumper. But I live out here in California, I don't know the prices out there.

It's not uncommon for the price reported to you to be different than that actually paid. What you see on paper is typically inflated as well because of the lower negotiated rate with the insurance company, the 'before' cost is padded.

I live in Westchester New York, I live around areas where body repair shops don't charge too much like in the CITY do...

Paint it then clear bra it, it will be worth it. I have a clear bra and it saved my ass so many times.

the clear bra will even protect against stupid little rub damages such as bad parkers, shopping carts etc.
