Just wondering what you thought an average shop might charge to paint this my original two-tone color.

Well, it REALLY depends. Do you want JUST the front bumper painted or do you want it blended with your hood, fenders, etc. Are you going to remove the headlights, etc. Are they going to install it on the car, are they painting it off the car, etc. It also depends on quality of the shop. There are shops where I could get my whole car sprayed for like $1K, there are also places where I can have the same paint used, etc. and get charged 3K. Best bet would be to go to shops and have them check it out and give you their opinion. I learned that with body shops, everyone is different... could be by the hundreds. Could be by the thousands. FYI, red is also the most expensive paint.

Around here it is around $250, that is what I got quoted.

You will get what you pay for, trust me. Just paint and materials to paint the front cover at our shops would be like $300.

$250-$350 is about what my shop would charge too

It's going to cost more because it's two tone and it will need to be blended because the new paint will not match the original. I would not be shocked if it costs around $500.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Rmodel, what do you mean by "why dont u just buy the insert?" Iwant to replace the bumpercover because mine ischipped all to hell,cracked in two places, and held together with zip ties.

I don't think that it'd allow much air into your engine bay, but here's something to think about.

(but really it's probablynot practical for a street car.)

my guess is 600-700 if its done right, meaning not loaded with bondo and properly blended into the hood and fenders

less if you take all the original stuff off yourself
