How much to paint?

I got into a little fender bender with my Evo. I have a few scratches from my passenger headlight down to my lip only on the side. The scratches are down to the plastic, but not gouged into it. I will be replacing the fender.
I'm gonna be doing all removal and replacement of parts myself. Roughly what should I expect to pay for a shop to repaint my bumper and new fender?
Thanks for the help, don't wanna get bent over.

I just got my Evo back from paint and it cost me $600 to repaint the front bumper and hood (this was just a respray no damage other than rock chips) at one of the best body shops if not the best around my area. Although I didnt remove any of the parts. Id say your looking to pay anywhere from 4-600 as well depending on how bad the scratches are on the bumper.

make sure you look more into quality rather then price
because if these "minor scratches" bother you enough to
get bumper repainted its gonna bother you even more
when theres more paint from your bumper on the ground
then on your car.

and correct me if im wrong but isnt this section more for
showing off your car then ask questions about how much
its gonna cost to replace something?
...not trying to be a A--hole im just wondering for myself.

im a painter for a living, and i would say thats about right, also depends on if you are R&R-ing the fender, or if the body shop is.
