Idea on how much to get fixed?

[eXzodious]

Any ideas on how much this will cost to get fixed there is no damage to the bumper cover just cracked paint from the paint being flexed. My girl taped it with her eclipse and there’s no damage to her car! :mad:

well, a professional job will prolly be like ..400 or more is my guess, but i kind of have an idea of what i'm talking about....

a good shop should cost 350 or so cash 500 charge or check

to me it just looks like it needs to be sanded and painted, a decent shop can do that for around $100 here, not sure where everyone else is going

Welcome to my world. The previous owner of my car lost control on a wet road and hit the ditch. He messed up the back bumper and the pass. door. The shop that painted them obviously didn't research too much and didn't put the flex additive in, so my bumper started chipping around the middle. Now about an inch past the license plate area is completely chipped off, as well as the sides around it. The entire bumper will probably need to be repainted to make it look anything close to original. I've been quoted 300-450$, but I found someone who used to paint cars and he said he'll do it for alittle over the cost of materials. Just have to wait for it to warm up. Morale of the story: Don't forget the flex additive [img]smile.gif[/img] .

The shop that put the Trans Am bumper cover was kind of out dated their paint booth was pretty much a garage I highly doubt they added any flex additive to it if it cracked how it did. It only needs to be sanded and painted so I’m hopping it won’t be much to fix it, I’m planning on trading it in on a Trans Am in a few months just trying to find the right car.

just make sure all paint is removed not just the loose stuff.
Plastics require more than just flex agents to do a proper job.
I would say $400 is about a fair price.
did you get her phone #
