I had just put tints on it after passing inspection yesterday... nice freaking way to start my freaking wednesday, how can I be happy about my tints now?

Would this be something easy to at least make look better without painting the whole bumper or replacing it? I can't wait until I find a scratched orange car around my hood

That absolutely sucks. Probably beter to repaint the whole thing. Hey, now your week can only get better!

dommafia

that's one way to look at it :P

How much do you think it would cost me to repaint the bumper? give me a ballpark figure if you can.

If you order a new bumper cover, do they come pre-painted like the body kits?... just asking.

no they dont u have to get the painted

You might be surprised how much of that is paint transfer and will buff out with a machine polisher and some mild to medium polishing compound.

I've been there and it can look worse than it actually is.

Deep scratches, dent, etc, won't go away, but a lot of that Orange will.

I guess i can do that until i save up enough for a new sports bumper... there goes that TYPE-s lip money thanks for all the info my fellow acura brothers ( ? )

ps If anyone has a shop in northern new jersey that can do what bearcat suggested for a decent price please post! (i dont have access to PM system yet, newbie)

Man, some compound and elbow grease should get most of that out.

I have a new bumper cover at Peoria Acura's body shop now being painted for 265.00, I can't imagine your bumper costs much more than my 01 CLs.

Sorry that happened.

and after you buy a bumper what are you going to do?? you know since it doesn't come painted already. Buying a new one would wind up costing you around $500 between buying it and painting it together. That should cost around $200 repainted. I would hit it with the rubbing compuond first and leave it like that through the winter cause you know some idiot is gonna f*ck it up more. reapint it in late March
