Just getting a ball figure what you guys paid for to get your front end bumper painted pearl white? I know that I should go ask around but im 800miles away from home and once i get winter break ill chk around once i get back home. But Id appreciate it if for those who have done it to list how much they payed to get it painted. Thanks

 

I did a front end conversion from a 96 to a 97. Had the bumper painted at the body shop at the dealer I worked at for $150 IIRC. I thought it was a good deal, but the color of the Pearl White didn't quite match the rest of the body. It's a tough color to get to match exactly.

 

$175 Front

$175 Rear

 

damn thats cheap...i was looking atleast at $300 for the paint job.

 

i got my 01 for 150 painted wasnt that good job its alright

 

i paid $586 for a totally new front bumper mounted and painted from the dealership....i didnt have to pay for it!....i also had a huge hole in it from somone hitting me which forced me to ahve to spend and extra 250 for the bumper itself

 

A good body shop should be in the range of $300 just to refinish it. If you need any body work or prep time on the cover, expect to pay a little more.

Pearl is a three stage paint and is more expensive to spray then your normal two stage. The key to matching pearl colors is in the pearl coat. Sometimes you need up to 4 coats of pearl to get the yellowish pearl color to match, sometimes it's only two.

 

Around here it should be around 100-150 if u take them off the car so they dont have to mask everything up.

 

I'd say 100-150 for a decent job

 

depends on which shop you take it to. If you take it to Maaco, you won't spend as much, but you'll get a 1/2-assed paint job which you'll keep having problems with. If you go to a dealer-recommended paint shop, you mich pay a bit more, but you're getting a quality paint job.

I agree, Pearl White is one of those colors that you have to get it right. There's parts of my Max where my brother got into accidents a while ago, and the repainted areas look diff. than that of the original paint.
