repainting back bumper
So I'm an idiot. I get my new CAI today, have some fun with the car doin some crazy stuff i shouldnt do. That's not even the issue. I hit 142 tonight and all is well, then I go to the gas station...when im backing up, an f'in dumpster comes out of nowhere and hits my back bumper (just kidding I completely backed in to it, like a moron.) Anyway, I lost a good amount of paint and I can't stand to look at my back bumper now. Anyone know how much it is to repaint, or does anyone have a arctic white bumper suitable for a 99?
I feel like a moron, so spare me the humilation!!!!

-wants to know also, Because someone, when coming out there parking space, scraped my car on the right side bumper. Now my bumper has a mean looking scratch, like a cat would do. Plus a chip of paint came off my bumper on the left, so i would also like to know how much it would probably be to repaint bumpers..

Anyone have a white bumper? I'm sure it would be cheaper just to do that.

I repaint my bumper a year ago for $250 but unfortunally they just ripped me off because didn't add flexible paint to paint (only used regular paint for metal), so my paint after hitting something started cracking and peeling off; I went back to place to complained and they played smart telling me they did use flexible paint even when I was told by 3 body shops they didn't; they wanted an extra $150 to repaint again; so I said no way; so now looking for a place as well but now is hard for my to trust anybody.

I have some nasty rash on my back bumper from what I believe was a bad repaint by the previous owner. I have a buddy who works at a car lot and their paint guy told me those bumpers don't paint well and I would be better off getting a brand new bumber and having it painted fresh? Does anyone smell b.s.? What has been anyone else's experience with the longevity of a repainted bumper?
