Front Bumper Respray?
I was driving on the highway over the weekend and the car in front of me ran over a big chunk of blown out tire, which shot it right into my front bumper. There's a big chunk of paint missing and the paint is cracked all around where it hit.
So, now I'm gonna need to get the bumper repainted. Any ideas about what a reasonable cost for that should be? |

maybe 250-300? |
A honest reasonable price for a proper bumper repair and refinish is usually around 1,000, but without pics its impossible to give any idea of what you are looking at.

But yeah, sorry for no pics, I'll add some later if I remember. |
A local body shop in NY has quoted me $400 to respray my front bumper, but that’s without any other damage besides the paint (ie no dents) just chipping

Also, I just realized this thread probably should be in the "Cosmetic Maintenance" sub-forum rather than this one. Mods, feel free to move this thread. |

I looked around on some other forums and 300-500 seems to be a normal price for a bumper respray, but I wanted to see what people who actually have the same car I did have paid. |
I got an estimate to have my rear bumper repainted and was quoted $400.

I had mine repainted when the car was 3 months old and a chunk of concrete hit my bumper. It cost me 1200 (insurance covered 700 I paid 500) and they did a terrible job. Granted my car is a 3 stage whiteout 37j. But its horrible. If I could go back I would have skipped the respray all together and just dealt with the chip and cracks.

But it started peeling within a year bc they just sprayed over the original paint. I went back and they said I would have to pay full cost for a respray if I wanted it redone so I wrote nasty reviews everywhere I could. They offered a free respray if I took the reviews down but I thought that was unethical. The review stays and the bumper continues to peel. Funny part is, its 99% a track car now. So I don't even care what it looks like. |
