Scraped my rear bumper pretty good - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I took it to Macco and the guy there said he can get it done for $275 but color match wouldn't be 100%, didn't ask him whether it would be 80% or what but I assume he will try his best and get close. I'm here wondering if you guys know a decent shop I could take it to and get it fixed and get a better color match guarantee. Not looking to spend a lot of money obviously and I'm not willing to go through insurance.

Heres some pics.

Not Macco that will peel off quick. Check for local body shop in ur area.

I did also go to gerber which is where my insurance would send me. They want $1000, which is insane.

Haha he shared my regret but surprisingly he isnt so mad. I guess its mostly due to how many hours i work, which makes up for what happened to the car :P im gonna try for tomorrow, not sure yet.

That sucks dude. Honestly man I would just scan craigslist for another wrecked 86 of the same color and just buy the bumper.

Or, this could be your excuse to go after market.

But I just don't think it's worth it to pay 600+ for something that probably won't be that well paint matched.

Just redo whole bumper. Maaco sucks @ss.

Unless you personally know guys there, avoid! You can buy paint from dealer and have small shop paint it. If you dedicated, then sand around, then paint it yourself.

Or...get a huge bandaid sticker lol
