For a real good job. Because this estimates I got were in the 6-700 range.

from the bodyshops i went to with my 240sx, take any color and get an estimate, to have it pearlized double the price. also there is different types of pearl. a powder that is mixed in the paint. the better more expensive stuff or this liquid they add to the clearcoat. either way, pearl is expensive yet elegantly beautiful

QNO is $$$$
Its a three stage paint. To have my bumper painted when I did my front end conversion it cost 200-250
I got a quote in case I wanted to paint ny CF hood later in the future and was quoted 300.00
Fenders I would imagine would be 200-250
It may be cheaper to get them painted all at once but im sure it will still be costly. Good paint jobs normally arent cheap.
If your bumpers paint has craks in it,it was painted using the wrong kind of clear coat. They should of used a flex coat.

my bumpers have cracks too, my bumpers paint have the flex agent, but the clearcoat is the part that cracks, the flex agent is mixed in the paint not the clear. this is why most bumpers have a different shade then the body, the fact that the bumpers are plastic and the body is metal also contributes to this. i heard this from a nissan body shop and a another body shop.

i payed 1000 for painting of a body kit bumper (front and rear), side skirts and mounted, and z3 fenders done for 1000. plus my hood had a big dent in it and had to be repainted to match the perl. Hope that helps

Hey there. I'm getting a new bumer cover and passenger-side fender primed and painted. Took it to a repuatable shop where I've had work done before. I've got a 96 Pearl White (QN0). I replaced the bumper and fender myself to try and save some bucks. The first quote was $900, doing it "right"- taking it all apart again, making sure every crack and crevice was painted. But, got it down to $300 after letting them know I just wanted any visible parts painted (pull out the fogs and headlights, and get that strip where it bolts down under the hood).

I feel bad for the baby, but she's my second ride now (and hoping to start modding). Good luck!
