OK so about two years ago a light poll ran into my car, and long story short my bumper was jacked. So I've been driving around with a cracked bumper for a while and I want to fix it but OF COURSE do not want to spend a lot of money.

So I found this website that sells OEM Bumpers for about 200bucks and they say they are primed. Does that mean they are ready to slap on and paint?

THEN, I found MAACO claims to "spot paint" for pretty cheap. What do you guys think. Lets face it, my car is not a show car, and I'll probably trade it in, in a year or two. Well let me know what you guys think and does anyone know how much "spot painting" via the luxurious MAACO will cost?

Thanks for any POSITIVE feedback! Negative feedback is only welcome if A) it is funny B) makes fun of chubby chicks.

Thanks!

 

I would spend the money and get it done properly. A crappily painted bumper is not better than a cracked bumper.
How the hell did a light pole run into you?

 

i got my old s10 painted a differnt color by maaco for 500bux about 5 years ago and its still holding up. i mean its a truck so i do use it to haul stuff for work so the paint in the bed is pretty beat up, but other than that im pretty impressed for only spending that much. oh and it has stayed outside in the sun and weather for the last 3 years too

 

Yes primed means that all it needs is paint and then you're ready to put it on. That's about as far as i can help. Good luck

 

Thanks ShortBus, definitely something to consider....500 for the whole truck eyy??

 

Sweeet Thanks, I might have to....

I don't know, the light poll might have had a 6-pack or 2 and tried to get out of the way of the clean sweep truck that was scheduled for the next morning but did not want to miss the Bears game. Just my speculation...

 

yeah it was just a lil 2 door s10 and it was like the second to lowest paint job on the list

 

So mine should be about the same if not cheaper..since i just need the ***(bumper).

 

ha yeah it shouldn't be bad. my trunk used to be all scratched up from sittin tools on it :/... but i got it repainted for 200

and now ive gata get it and my back bumper fixed from some red neck that kit me on 85 and took off... damn 4banger..

 

Sucks man!

 

try its like 100 for a new bumper http://www.certifit.com/

 

Cool Thanks! Wonder if it is primed and ready to bolt on and paint though....
