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)

Check out these guys:

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.
