Repainting front bumper question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have a 13 WRB. Roughly.. how much would it cost to get the bumper repainted (clear bra'd as well) and how close do you think they can get it to match?

Also, will it be harder to match the longer I wait? I have 0 knowledge on paint
;/ Thanks

I've only had to have a few cars painted/repaired but so far just throwing a number out there I'd say $250-$350 per body piece/panel. This varies from city to city, state to state and so on. What body shops can charge you vs. what your insurance gets charged are two very different prices. As with everything you get what you pay for. I wouldn't try and cut corners when it comes to body work.

just an FYI, if you go this route of painting then going with a clear bra, you do have to wait some time after getting it painted before putting a clear bra on, i beleive a minimum of 30 days

$350 to remove, repair (normal chips and whatnot), paint. another $350 for a legit clear film installation. if you are going to have a clear film installed, they can use a speed clear and you can wrap it in a week. I have done more than i can count. also removed film from one of my own cars that i had wrapped with xpel 3 days after i painted it, 2 years later. paint was perfect and film released easily
