front bumper paint + install $780 quote?

shoopdawoop · 03-13-2017, 01:27 PM

hows a $780 quote sound for a e90 front bumper paint and replacement?

paint job looks pretty good.

i was thinking 700 but want to double check

Asking this online is utterly pointless. Prices vary IMMENSELY based on where you're located.

Call other good shops in your area and compare the quote.

I paid $515 for paint, no install (northern va), bumper was another $450 (LCI M-Tech)

csu87 · 03-13-2017, 02:23 PM

shouldnt be more than $250. Go in and raise hell and refuse to pay

AZDesertBMW · 03-13-2017, 03:05 PM

Is 780 for a new bumper that is painted and installed for that price? If that's it then seems like a pretty good deal.

talisman311 · 03-13-2017, 03:06 PM

I bought one from paint n ship off ebay and replaced it myself for ~250. Perfect fit and paint match for BSM, but did some paint correction with my 7424 to make it look a little nicer.

NYBulldog · 03-13-2017, 03:41 PM

Really depends on where you are... but I personally think its too expensive. I thought you got the bumper included in that price which would be a fantastic deal. If its not a special bumper you should look into a company who sells them already painted. Install is super easy even for a novice.

Bought a voucher worth $220 for a rear bumper paint thru livingsocial and the quality looked decent!

LAH78E462E90 · 03-13-2017, 07:41 PM

I paid $507 to paint M-style front bumper and Hamann front lip. Bro, install it yourself......

rick100 · 03-13-2017, 07:48 PM

In canada is 600 for a bumper paint at a good body shop and that includes installation

You could do it for 500 at a decent shop too

Anything less than 500 is possible but you need references

Although this is canadian dollar so if you paid us dollar i m thinking its too much

justalilbit · 03-14-2017, 12:50 PM

$780 US is quite expensive for a paint + install, but if they already did it I don't see how you can refuse payment.

ZeeVaughn · 03-14-2017, 02:49 PM

Install yourself it's just a bunch of bolts and it slides right off

08njSTEP · 03-14-2017, 03:14 PM

Here in NE using OEM parts with quality paint and R&I that's about right. Bumper is over $500, R&I 3.2 @$45/hr, paint around $200 including labor.

Quality paint is defined as top shelf from a major brand(Sikkens,PPG, Dupont, etc..)

Dang, $200 to install bumper, if to paint is $580?? Getting ripped off....

Total labor charge for rear bumper on a RAV4 is 5.9 hrs. Paint and body. Does not include bumper. Total cost including aftermarket bumper is $725.

delmarco · 03-22-2017, 11:37 AM

Bumper paint jobs are like $500-firm in NYC.

I've seen BMW e90 bumpers sell from $75 and up...so when you do the math most of your savings will be on where and what condition bumper you buy.

RVA_MR2 · 03-22-2017, 02:59 PM

i pay $150 for a full bumper respray and clear from our vendor at work...
