Re: Cost to paint the front bumper
Caveat emptor. They may do a great job for a C-note or they may not. I had to have a door repaired/repainted on my SRT6. I had estimated $600 and negotiated that off the price of the car when I bought it, but when we got into it, to do it right cost $1100. In addition, I asked them to fill and paint the license plate holes in the front bumper. It would have cost another $500 to remove, refinish, paint, and replace. I gambled and asked them to do it on the car -- stroked their egos (and that's all). 18 months later you cannot see where those holes were and the paint is perfect. And, yes, I still run bras on both my XFs.
