Arrow Going to dealer tomorrow, have a question

I got a base bumper off of craigslist but it has a lot of scratches on it, paint missing. I'd like to have it re-painted so I'm taking it to the local Ford body shop.

Does anyone have any idea what would be a good price just to have the bumper painted? It's already off the car so they wouldn't need to take it off. I don't want to get ripped off but I don't see myself paying more than $200-$250.

Any inputs are appreciated.

Definitely find a bodyshop. Better quality and probably faster service.

well if its been painted before they cant charge you for prep again, idk about your local dealer but for mine even if you install parts they will take them off and paint them and reinstall them anyways, its easier for them cause then they dont have to tape it off. but i really cant see it more then 250 at a dealer... but i agree with everybody that if you do have the option, do a bodyshop instead, if you cant find one then i would say anything over 250 would be a ripoff...
