work at body shop and if you don't blend it to the fenders and hood it will not come out perfect. Before you pay them you should ask them what they are going to do. you are not ably to get a perfect match from just painting the bumber because your paint has faded and manufactures paint color is very hard to mix perfect. but good luck man hope it comes out mint.

This is the main reason I got a clear bra for the car, just so I don't have to deal with the paint being chipped away.

In NY it's anywhere from $375-$500 it all depends on the shop and prep the bumper might need. Haha just noticed how old this thread is.

Might want to get a few more quotes to help determine orbiter is a reasonable price for your area.

Its just a front bumper, and doesnt have any super large flat spots. I would order a quart from mitsu and take it to a tech college and let some kids learn how to spray a really cool bumper. The college guys will have a blast and youll get a free paint job. The front bumper will look great as long as its the right color and the work will be free how to you beat that?

It cost me 200 to get my rear bumper painted so I'm assuming for the front that that is a little expensive
