Default how much? paint bumper

For those who know a thing or 2 about paint touchups....

I currently do not have an emblem on the front of my car.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what i'd be looking at to have the holes filled and painted?

Do they just retouch that area or paint the whole front bumper. I'm looking for just a rough estimate or what others have paid.

Anyone know?

Also do I need to go ahead and get this taken care of before i put my ap2 oem lip on?

I didn't get any holes filled for my bumper but I got it painted for $450 + installation. So that should give you some what of an idea.

Whole bumper, I got quoted like $300.
Only way to have it look good would be to paint the whole thing.

you could buy some plugs and buy touch up paint to pain them if you dont have the cash to pain the bumper.

tried that and this was with OEM matching touch up paint

the touch up paint did not match ... looks orange on my yellow

So now I need to get it professionally done.

With a little experimentation i bet you could get the color matched.
