local paint shop wants $400 to install a new bumper and paint it, $500 to repaint the bumper I have on it now - is that high?

Thanks,

When I got mine stripped and repainted through insurance (somebody elses, not mine), it was something like $736 - but that was pricing for insurance since they know they can charge more.

If it's cheaper to get a new bumper, just get the new one. Keep the old one for a track bumper or sell it to recoup some $$$

500$ is fair price if they are stripping,prepping and shooting it. thats what i'd charge. stock bumper or fiberglass? alot of places i've called won't touch aftermarket bumpers. good luck.

Seems like the right price. I've had a couple front bumpers painted(off the car), and I paid from $250-350.

I talked with the guy about the price and he came back at $260 to paint the bumper off the car - its a OEM AP1 nose I happen to have. Now I'm trying to decide if I want the AP1 nose I have, AP2 nose on the car that needs repainting (extra labor costs), or a different aftermarket nose...

I need to test fit the AP1 nose and see what issues I may have with the fender liners, or possibly get a nose that I know will fit the AP2.

Good paint is expensive. When shops paint a part on the car they have to use the highest quality to ensure color matching. $500 is actually pretty cheap for prep and painting a bumper. Shops in Atlanta want $400 to just paint a prepped lip....

Get the APR bumper!

That's the one that looks like an OEM AP2 with lip right? Where do you get it?

I'd get your stock repainted because the vin numbers will still match the rest of the car.
