Look for a paint shop around your area.

Are you can do it yourself.

I think he is talking about painting on his own. Is your bumper already painted, or is it aftermarket?

Then I would say that it shouldn't be more than $100-150 for just the bumper to be painted.

$200 for your bumper, if you get someone who knows what they're doing and does a true three-stage paint.

Install is free unless you're an aborted fetus or ward of the state.

Yeah, it's called doing it yourself. Installing a bumper takes 10 minutes, tops. And that's with a beer.

Oh god.............. it's really not that hard. Everyone I knew figured it out without being shown.

1. There's seven black tabs under the hood on the grill and corners of the bumper. Pop them up with a flat-head screwdriver and remove them.

2. In the wheel well, where the fender meets the bumper, there should be a philips-head screw in each well. Remove those.

3. Under the car, where the bumper meets the splash guard, there are two 10mm bolts. Remove them with a 10mm socket.

That's removal, install is the exactive opposite

Learn fast.
