So I while parking my car in our parking garage at work today I accidentally kissed a pillar that was off set in my parking spot. I checked the bumper and it left 2 little gouges, kinda like the rock divot I posted earlier.

Two Questions:

How much is a new bumper?

How much would a body shop typically charge for buffing out what basically amounts to 3 decent rock divots? Unfortunately one of the rock divot goes to the metal.

 

Dont know the price of the bumper but as far as the work it will depend on a few things. One the body shop you go to and the quality of work they do. The better the quality the more you are going to pay. Second is the amount of damage you did. you say three divots but how bad are they? If the plastic if chunked enough you may have to replace the whole bumper. If its not that bad then it may be able to be sanded out and just repainted.

 

By the sounds of it yur gonna need a new bumper. I say with paint n install yur looking at around $600 for a good job done.

 

only 600 for a new bumper? Can I buy one that is already painted Athens blue, or do they all ship unpainted? Honestly the marks aren't noticeable unless you get up close and look at it from 6 inches away. Even still I imagine I'll have to replace the bumper, but I'll find a good shop out here in the spring and ask them what they think. I'm pissed I didn't get the clear bra on the front, I'm waiting for the good clear bra install guy to make a trip to my city.

 

no the bumpers do not come painted. post some detailed pics of the marks i can tell you if you will need to replace or not. I worked at a body shop....
