depends on wether you do the prep work or not, and the rep/quality of the shop.

I'm going to have both bumpers painted, they'll remove both of them, remove the paint & prep. The rear bumper has a small ding, they'll fill that in. The whole thing is going to cost $900.00, which is a good price for what's being done! I'f you wan't it done right, make sure they remove the bumpers.

I'm getting both bumpers done, not just one! Plus, I have a small golf ball size ding that they need to repair in the rear! I'f it's done right they have to remove the bumpers! So, $900 is a hell of a $. You'd probably get it done for half that $ in some sh.t shop!

a decent place the price should be in the $300 area.

If I'm not mistake only the Pearl white Max's have a 2 stage paint. The rest of us got a Stage 1 so that will be much cheaper.

sorry forgot there was 2 bumpers. $500 area, if you can prep them yourself or someone you know for dirt cheap it would save quite a bit on cost.

As stated above it depends on the shop and if you have any hook ups. My friend had a guy do my front and rear bumper for $200. He does body work at a ford dealership. He did an excellent job. He said he would have normally charged around $400-$500. If your in the LI area I could talk to him and see what I can work out.
