My M45 has 95k on it and I plan to keep it another couple of years. I have put small punctures in both the front/rear bumpers and the front has a bunch of small white marks from rocks/stones hitting it (lots of highway driving).

The rest of the body is in pretty good shape. Can I just get the bumpers painted or will they not match? Should I get the whole car painted?

Also is MAACO a good idea for this? I would like to keep costs down. Car is still worth $18k or so. Any thoughts appreciated.

NO MAACO is cheap and will steal from you.

My girlfriend went to a MAACO for auto body work, and they painted her rear bumper the wrong color, wasn't even faded or blended correctly even though it wasn't the right color. plus stole some parts off her car. and she didn't know until she went to the dealership to check out some rattles in her car

if you can depending on your location. some people here on the forum have auto body shops they use where they can get you some sort of discount or hook up
