I just bought a brand new Mtech bumper, What should i pay to get it painted? I have been quoted 440$ from 2 places, that seems high.. Anyone?

*color is BSM*

I pay about $400 for a QUALITY paint job including taxes and he drops it off at my house and picks it up also installs all hardware that comes with pieces. (Painted hood, bumper; front and rear)

To get a good quality paint is job I would say $500 is about average. So $440 is pretty reasonable.

The quoted price is for me dropping it off, and me installing it.

Haha Taran, obviously the OP doesn't have a shop to hook him up like us so he's asking what price he should be paying around.

I'd Offer the guy $250. $80 for paint and the rest for his labor

400 to 600 bucks is average.

anything less is a risk unless you know the shop , anything more is too high

I got quoted 250 with install but I used to work for a dealer and delivered parts to the shop just about everyday.

I had my roof painted for 250 my rear bumper replaced and painted for 150. I know the guy and referred him to a dozen people. Quality work and cheap prices. Depends on the color and how hard it maybe to match. He did my hardtop for 200 for my e36 m3. Other places were 8-1200 bucks. Always quality work and he always warranties for life but nothing has happened.

He charged me 150 for rear bumper due to I had a crack and his buddy had a used one in a different color so he did me a favor. It was painted TIAG and matched perfectly.
