Default Painting Parts

Anyone know how much it costs to paint a front bumper? And where do you have that painted anyway? I would assume Ford to have the color match correctly, but I guess I have no idea.

dealership would be the best option to match but at an unfriendly price.

Any reputable paint and body establishment should have color match books to assist you in getting it painted the correct color for your vehicle...

i do my own paint and its very rewarding. youll drop close to a grand intially for equipment but will have braggin rights forever. my legend lime was hard for the paint store to match though and after three atempts i finally mixed my own to get the color perfect.

FYI to all new painters dont mix white with a metal flake paint it will turn it into a pastel color. i ended upusing a metalic silver to lighten the color the paint store gave me to get the right shade of green.
