need to sell my car but i wanted to repaint the front bumper first because there is a scrape and a couple scratches... anyone in cali know of a place where i can get a decent job for a good price? other than that, anyone know how much it would go for? basically it's for the front bumper + the front lip of the OEM kit.... thx in advance!

 

where abouts in Cali are you located?

 

Glendale

 

painting a front bumper usually costs about 200-250 at a good professional body shop

 

Just don't, for the love of God, send it to MAACO -- although on second thought, you're selling it, what do you care what it looks like in a year! $100 bucks at MAACO! (Not actually sure about the price)

 

hahah.. true dat... if you're going to sell it, you just need a temporary finish. =)

 

i guess, i just feel kinda guilty... can'y u tell a difference b/n a decent job and a cheesy job? i can usually tell, not that i think pros are gonna try to buy my car or anything...

Colonial Honda in Glendale referred me here when my Ody was involved in an accident. They do a very decent job considering I have a redrock pearl and they said that paint is hard to match. I don't know how competitive their price are bec. my insurance covered it. But I see a lot of luxury cars (even brand new ones; dings/dents from shipment) going in to their shop.

 

cool, thx
