Sounds about right, my estimate was about 950$ to re-paint my bumper. Was that a phone estimate? Are they already painted and you want them painted another color, or are they coming in bare? Were they aware of that?
Seems a little steep, but more accurate for a re-paint

Got quoted about 300-450 by me. $1000 was a full front end paint job. hood, bumper, lip, fenders.

You get what you pay for - if you are getting a $500 paint job, I guarantee they are using junk paint and the results are likely less than stellar.
I'd rather pay more and have top quality paint used, no runs, no dirt in the paint/clear, etc.
Then again, I'm the type that expects paint to be flawless when just redone

people are crazy here paying that much for a car thats prob street driver and will get damaged again. I know a good paint job on a panel can vary from 300 to 450 but more than that and you are getting ripped off

I guarantee you're ignorant. OEM quality paint and a 3 stage paint job isn't 500+.

A full front end by me is about $1000 hood, fenders, front bumper and lip. Lifetime warranty on the paint and all as well. Seems to be about the standard price for that.

Paying $950 to repaint a bumper is ridiculous.
