im ordering a kit cuz i dont have a front bumper. it says primered ready to paint, but i was wondering should i just have it painted or put real primer on it first? im just getting the stock red.

 

oh, and does anyone have a guess at price? no maaco or 1 day crap, but real paint? just for the front bumper that is....

 

i would guess the paint job costs around 300 bucks, at a decent shop.

 

Your still have to primer and prep to paint that.. Chances are if its fiberglass that it will need quick prep..

 

you should definetly prep, and so you know it will be extremely hard to match the paint. first because its fiberglass and the paint on your car is not fresh.

 

should probly hold off for a little bit and get enough money to paint the whole car so it doesnt look like ****. And im sure that whatever place does the painting will be able to determine if it needs further prepping before painting.

 

well the thing is i dont have a front bumper, which is why im getting a kit now instead of later down the road. i need it painted now or ill be riding ghetto style. i wont have money to do a whole car for a long while, i want to rebuild the engine first. if i got the bumper painted then did a good buff/wax job do ya think it'd be alright? the paint in front of the car looks good, its the plastic pieces that are turning pink, and the rear quarter needs a detail job.
