How much normally does it cost to get a front bumper painted? Looking into getting a GT front bumper..just looking for the range I'd be expecting. Found a GT bumper in good condition for 170.00$

Around $200 to $300 dollars from a decent body shop.

pascal

^^^^^^^Yeah, about that.
$250 being a minimum though...

Sweet, Thanks! What do you think a Ford body shop would charge?

pascal

Doesn't matter what they charge because dealers ain't worth a damn with body work/paint.
And it would be more that that anyway.

Get a decent independent shop.


Edit: Your car has that yellow tri-coat color doesn't it?
If so, expensive stuff so add at least $80 to the 250/300 quote.

May be to your surprise but the dealerships body shop actually painted my rear valance and my hood...I guess it depends on which dealer you go to. We have a friend who does nice work, he painted the rocker panels...only thing is he takes a while to get in contact with then when he gets your car he keeps it for 2 months..

The car is sunset gold metallic.

Nothing is absolute but I can't think of any dealers that I'd trust in Orlando.
Hopefully you have enough clear on that hood...


And yes tri-coat it is.

mustang0672

Yes, there is enough clear. I can think of a few dealers I wouldn't trust close to me..but there is one. Mcree Ford in Dickinson,Texas. They have awesome customer service too.

pascal

Lucky you then.
Seems you're in good hands.
