Hey guys I have an 04 BB the front Bumper has TONS of rock chips, I was to repaint the front bumper only, with no blending, will it look ridiculously mismatched?

 

First you have to ask your self "does it match now". Yeah i know it's a factory paint job, but... They never match 100 percent, painting a plastic substrate will in most cases product a slight color deference. Now if to your eye it does match 100 percent and there isn't any damage with in 4 to 6 inches of the fenders then the tech will still be able to blend with in the bumper. Now if it's a night and day difference then it's your painters fault.

 

PS, I just realized you car is black. For some reason it didn't register, Any way. You'll be fine, black is an easy color to butt match. Hope this helps.

 

yea I was actually going to just bring the shop my bumper while I was having my turbo installed, bad idea?, actualyl saved me a lot of cash because they wont charge me for the labor to take off and install bumper

 

No you'll be fine, a smart tech will color match before sanding your bumper. I wouldn't worry to much about it, like i've said it's black, in 10 years i've only had to repaint a black one time because of a color issue and it would have only been noticed in a painters eye.

 

how much does a front bumper repaint cost these days? o_o

 

I think I got qouted for like $450 or so

 

300-400, just depends on where you go.
