Painting New Rear Bumper: How much?

I backed into my retaining wall last night and now I am in the market for a new rear bumper cover to replace my old one.

How much, on average will I be spending to have the part painted if it is already primed?

My car is grey lustre if that makes any difference.


Thanks a bunch.

I noticed that you are from Edison. I just moved to piscataway and do you have any shops in our area that you'd reccommend?

Thanks.

I JUST got a new OEM rear bumper cover from Dave B for $188. Shipping was roughly + $30. I'm dropping it off today to get it painted at a body shop in Middlesex. He's charging me $250 cash. Gonna put it on myself. Sterling Mist. I'm not sure if Grey Lustre has pearl/metallic in it? That may add to the cost. There's some rough figures for you.

Should not cost more than $250 to paint...

And a good shop should not have to blend.

I would think the minimum would be $200 b/c a crappy place around my area charges that much.

I got quoted at $623 for the bumper, the paint job and the labor for my rear bumper.

That's way too high. I paid $250 cash for very good paint. And you can install it yourself.

I just got my rear bumper repainted due to a fender-bender recently. I would NOT expect anything more than around $200-$300.
