I can get the bumpers for around 60-70 dollars. How much will it cost to get a nice paint job on them?

That'll depend on the local pricing. At least you have the blue, which will be a lot easier to match than the pearl white. I think my new front bumper paint job was about $200 in IN?? Make sure you put the bumpers ON the car before having them painted, so they can match and blend the paint.

hey dude...i do body work along with a friend of mine.... both bumpers painted & installed for $300 . . . pm me I'm in JERSEY...it's not done in the backyard either, we give a warranty and the whole nine yards. . .

budha56, since when do you blend in the paint when putting in a new bumper??? fender I can understand but bumper? do you know that in order to "blend" in the paint you have to paint other body parts?? example: putting on a new fender: gotta blend in the paint on the front door so it matches... look at your car now, you will see a big difference in the paint (that's because bumpers aren't metal) . . . it's seen much more on lighter color cars. . .

Yeah I definitely noticed a difference between by front bumper and the rest of the car...at first he had just painted the bumper and then I put it on myself, but once it was on the paint didn't match well so he redid it. Maybe he didn't "blend" it then, but he was able to match the bumper color better to the rest of the car. But you're right there's still a difference between the bumper and the car. I guess that's unavoidable? Sorry if I mis-spoke.

i hope you didn't take my response the wrong way. . . it's just that i don't see many people blending the paint for a bumper. . .
a lot of times what we do is buy the bumper for a customer if he doesn't live close and we paint it then he comes in, we install it buff it, and he's good to go in no time. . . doesn't even have to leave the car with us . . .

Cool. I wasn't offended, I just found that the results were better when my car AND my bumper were there to be painted. I have no idea if that's the norm. That's why it's good to have experts like you on the site!
