#Repaint portion of bumpr code
I know they'll use a paint code from ford but it's still very easy to get a shade or two off.Īnd just because you all asked nicely, I present below, my :headbonk: :doh: moment of the month! Even though I'm a bit worried about the paint matching if the rest of the car is not there for reference. I doubt even a bumper repaint without the added workmanship will beat that price.įor the fender though, I think I might just remove it myself for repaint at bodyshop because the scratch is deep. I already bid on an OEM painted bumper on ebay for about $250 (fingers crossed). Man, you guys are making me think of options that didn't readily come to mind. Then again, a shop may be slightly more likely to not prep as well as the factory did or even mess up the mixture a little, like the amount of flex agent which could cause a problem well down the road. NOTE (read the labels and follow the maker’s recommendations for operator safety). This process involves removing the paint off the entire layer in order for it to be scuffed and repainted. Apply two wet coats of flexible part sealer After drying for 30 minutes, the fascia is ready for priming and painting. If your bumper has deeper scratches and scuffs that have removed some paint, you can expect to pay 200-400 with a two to three-hour completion. The shop paint will be thicker which means they can polish out all orange peel. Congratulations, you’ve repaired your bumper Give yourself a pat on the back. Just saying the potential for a matching problem is higher with having it repainted.Ī shop can do better than the factory for smoothness/gloss. But a good shop should be able to match well enough on the first try that its not a problem. Of course some painters will be better, maybe a lot, than others. Remember when they paint body panels they can often blend which reduces some of the pressure of an exact color match. So manufactures go to great lengths to make sure all the cars are as close as possible to each other and the same for all the covers, so they all match the cars pretty much the same.Ī shop probably won't match as well on the first attempt and they will NOT want to re-shoot if you complain. The covers and cars aren't painted at the same time or even with the same paint formula since the covers need paint that can flex. As for matching, the takeoff will likely be a very good match.
