Do you have any pictures of your car? If it's not too bad, touch up paint?

how much would it cost to just paint the rear bumper?

it shouldnt be no more than 250 or 300 max...i had my front and rear lip kit painted for about 200

WDP is a pearl, so it will likely cost a bit more. It depends on your location, but I would estimate $300-1500 for a bumper respray. If you want a quality job, it should be possible for about $500. Paying more does not ensure quality, but it sure helps. It might be hard to find anyone willing to do it for $250.

I have a quote for a bumper respray on my previous car after someone hit it parked. It was something like $1400, and I DID tell them I was paying cash. Often collision shops will quote high if they know its going on insurance.

cost me ~$7000 to repaint WDP, came out dam perfect though and i wouldnt of had it any other way.
people always think i just bought the car and is really surprise when i tell them its a '07

my buddy did the front bumper for $450 cash. i know its not the rear but close enough?

price depends on where you live too, everything more expensive here in canada

I would think at least 5k for a decent paint job, several hundred for the rear bumper. It does depend on where you live and who you know. If you have issues with the lower part of your bumper maybe look into an A-Spec kit? Could be a cheaper alternative.

i was thinking about going to the acura dealership

My bill for spray/remove old/mount new rear bumper was almost $400 for NBP.

Typically dealerships will refer you to a body shop… just call them and ask who they use so that you can cut them out and save some money.

you8myrice

like someone said above, they will either tell you to use who they use, or they will take your car and send it too whatever bodyshop they use and charge you more.

The shop i went too were used by Both BMW dealerships in my city, and almost 90% of my local forum recommended them.

remember, you get what you pay for.

Paid $350 for my rear bumper. WDP might be more expensive.

It really depends on the condition of the current paint. If the paint is still in decent shape but the clear is faded or has heavy wash marks, then it could just be re-cleared, which should be reasonably cheap.

However, if it needs a full respray, you're easily looking at several thousand dollars, as others said. White Diamond Pearl is a tri-stage paint, which is expensive.

When my car got keyed up, I got an insurance check for $3200, with the total damage estimated at $3700. When i got it resprayed, I insisted on not having any pearl put on. i LOVE the color now, and no discoloration/yellow look to it anymore

so your car in now matte white?

pearl is different from clear coat arent they?

$1400 for a bumper respray? They should have been arrested for attempted rape.

You're thinking of paint correction, as in wet sanding and buffing the clear. Spraying more clear over damaged current clear coat will achieve nothing, and there's no way to remove all the old clear without removing the base coat as well. No real painter would even attempt this.

OP, what is actually wrong with the bumper anyway?

Price will vary depending on which shop you go to. Shop around and check reviews online.

simran4h

yea but ive been going to the guy for a while and i guess look around and get quotes from people in your area thts the best bet but make sure u dont go somewhere where the paints good for like 4 or 5 montsh and then starts looking like shit....happened to a friend of mines

Just as a heads up, white is one of those big colors that will show when you have a newly painted bumper only.

You get what you pay for. A good paint job can easily run you $5K.

I resprayed my own WDP, didnt do too many coats of the pearl because i wanted it different. If i was to charge someone to do almost the same job like I did mine w/out doing the carbon fiber roof, i would charge no more than 3k. If you go to a shop/dealer they will charge more than 5k. Easily. For a rear bumper just to paint I charge 200 for a 3 stage, with install 300. My job would easily charge 500+.

maaco is having a paint special 500$ paint service for only 250$

My silver RDX is different of course, but when it was rear-ended, the small gouge in the center of the rear bumper was filled with a plastic welder, and the complete bumper wrap-around was removed, the bad places spot painted, and the entire piece re-cleared. And the quotes I got were:

1. $350 for a local shop which would probably have done an 'adequate' job, and would have been my choice if I were paying

2. $1000 from a shop that repaired only high-end cars like Bentleys, Jags, etc. if I paid direct, even if paying in cash

3. $800 from the same shop in [2] above, when they had to deal with the insurance company of the person who hit my car (so I paid nothing) - very nice job by the way and completely invisible repair in metallic silver, even in bright sun-light. They also put back the rear bumper cover with even & closeer panel seams, better that when I bought it.
