Default $ for repainting front bumper?

if you had to guess, how much would you say it would cost to get my front bumper repainted? is there a certain ford paint they could use? i would rather have it be the paint ford would use. anyway just give me a approx. price?

a few paint chips, about a 2" deep scratch, (car is black and very very noticable), and bugs that are like embedded into my bumper, the bugs are the worst part, if i could get thoes off i dont think i would want it repainted. you can see the bugs in the straight on pic, and the scratch on the other pic, just so the rightof the fog light.

im just guessing 300-400 is reasonable, black is one of the cheaper colors to paint though. shop around and get some estimates

go to autozone and get some bug and tar remover and if that doesnt work, try "goo gone" those bugs should come off. I have a silver car and you can really see the bugs, i just use "bug and tar" remover and it works like a charm

get some 2000 grit sandpaper soak down the bumper and lightly sand those bugs off (dont worry it will not scratch your paint as long as you dont press too hard and dont let your bumper dry out)

yea same thing with mine. My friend who owns a local shop said he would take it off and sand it and smooth it out or something and then repaint it for about 100....all i have to buy is the paint
