Holy cow...

A little more than I was expecting from what I'd read in some other posts...

One shop quoted me $1000, which includes a new bumper.

The other shop said to refinish and quoted me $600.

Both said they would warranty the paint for the life of the car. They also both put the bumper labor @ almost 2 hours, so I'm tempted to just take the bumper in by itself / put it back on myself to save some money...

Anyone selling a Spa Bumper???

 

That seems a little high to me. My body shop quoted me ~$200 to paint a front bumper. Including removal/reinstall. (They even through in shaving the bumper plugs and H emblem.) A new bumper, unpainted, is about $350-$400 shipped.

hold up!

Keep in mind that spa is a 3stage paint, so they are charging 30% more money for refinish time and materials. Hence the price difference from any other color.

 

Yay for me! Lol.

Thanks for the info!

 

That could be part of it too. I don't really know.

I had them paint my stock bumper. They had to sand and prep the whole bumper. It was not raw/unfinished when they started. I honestly have no idea which costs more. Starting fresh, or starting half/way done, but having to redo it all.

The same shop has done two silverstones and one berlina. AFAIK they have not done any Spa so I don't know if they would charge more for that.

 

craziness I tell ya....the body shop I go to would paint my entire 6 piece gp kit for only $500 or $600 most, which includes sanding, priming, painting, remove/reinstall.....and on top of that they warranty the paint for life as well.......so $1000 for the bumper itself and paint is just nut......and I have rio so there thats compareable to your spa......

 

you get what you pay for.

 

^^^if that was directed toward me then fyi this body shop is the best in my town, and was the one that got the perfect color match on my car when it was in an accident....

 

I just got a new back bumper painted and installed in suzuka blue from a body shop in phoenix and it was a little over $900. I thought it was a little high but then again I didn't have to pay for it, the other person's insurance had to. I'm happy they did a good job.
