You don't know how to take off the bumper yourself? Just get it painted somewhere but don't have it "professionally" installed, it's a 10 minute job of just 8 screws and pins.

they were trying to feed me some bull **** by saying that the kit might be imperfect and might have to be changed because....."every car is differnt"

they wanted to charge 500 for paint and another 500 for touchups and installing

i got mine painted and put together for $300. Me and my painter switched the bumpers ourselves. Not even 10 min to do. As long as the kit was put together properly, you wont have any fit issues.

Can't a shop like maaco do this paint job? Sure they suck but the only reason they suck is because they do not take anything apart. Just go in there and give them the bumper + a color sample and see what they quote you, then put the bumper on yourself and save what it seems to be 500 dollars.

would your best advice be to shop around??? im in south orange county where there is a lot of money. most shop charge $80 an hour for labor!!!!!

Yea i would get a place to quote you straight up by looking at it. No computers, no estimated times. A day to prep and a day to paint. Its a good rule of thumb for painting. Shouldn't take any more than 2 hours to prep and maybe 3 hours to paint, depending on how many gloss coats your getting. I think 300 is a fair price.

Yup, That's what I paid and the guy painted it twice cause the first time it didn't match.

Im in North Orange County and I was hoping someone on these forums has had paint work around this area. I have shopped around a few places and pricing was alright but I would like to go somewhere that someone else has had work done before

This is my first car, and my first time getting something painted so I'd like to go somewhere reputable not just cheap

MY fascia has been sitting here for about a week now and I want it on really bad
