I was quoted 2500 to paint my hood and front bumper said has to strip to metal is that a crazy price? I'm in Suffolk long island.

Seems a little high. But you typically get what you pay for. I would get a few other quotes.

I had my entire side resprayed for around $1k due to door skin of driver's side not matching 100%.

I had the front end of an '07 Montego Blu e92 resprayed last spring, "a" pillars forward, for $3200. Taking the hood down to bare metal and shaving the bumper isn't cheap. Like the man said, you get what you pay for.

[DS3IAM]

just get two more quotes and see what they quote you.

[Rob09msport]

European auto society sells painted front bumper 700 with m3 side skirts un painted free and m3 rep fenders like 380 I was thinking of trying that they match by vin I am worried it might not match my car

[AWF10M5]

Buying pre painted parts is a terrible idea. Esp on a car that is almost 10 years old it will never match.

I can't believe companies still sell "pre painted" parts.

[gxe2se]

yes, pre-painted pieces won't be 100% match. if that's ok with you, then it might be worth it.

However, it will affect resale value.

I purchased pre-painted splitters (got a good deal), not 100% match but not super noticeable. Rest of the car matches fine after the side respray.

[Rob09msport]

That's what I thought as much as my car was garage kept and looks really good I just can't see it working maybe side skirts cause the angles but I doubt it

Seems a bit high but I guess it's worth it if you're planning to keep the car for a while. On the other hand, for 2500 you can get a top of the line vinyl wrap for the entire car. All depends on what you want.

Looks fantastic! Matte blue on our BMWs just looks right.
