You do get the quality you pay for.

approx $400 - $600

400-600 bux?!

I don't know where you're going but you're getting ripped off..

200 to about 300 dollars sounds about right.. why don't you take it in for a quote.. get a quote and then take it to another panel shop and say "this guys charging me this much, how much can you do it for?"

Simple,

You have your booth allowance, panel & paint consumables, whole bar D/A, repaired, primed and then painted.

The paint system/material the workshop uses will effect both quality and cost of repairs.

If you get someone to repair for 200-300, the shop is either repairing as charity work or at a loss.

We're not talking about a full re-spray here, just touch-ups/repairs right?

I got my FXGT front bumper painted when I bought it from Japan, colour change from black to diamond white (not metaillic or pearl) and it only cost me ~$170 cash (on the books). Didn't need it blended to the rest of the car, no cost for removal/install (I got it painted before I fitted it), the paint was a standard off-the-shelf Toyota colour, and the painters I used do a heap of work for Toyota as they are just around the corner from a dealership. Quality is perfectly fine, no runs, no mis-match to the rest of the car - could have been a bit thicker though as it has copped a few stone chips/scratches already but the bumper does bear the brunt of those anyway.

thanks for the big help and info guys ill try do that but ill post up a picture of the scratch soon not even that big!

200-300 for a front bar including blending. My local bodyshop is expensive but his work is very goose.

600 is an extreme estimate.

Got my rear bar repaired and fully resprayed at my local Toyota dealer for $320
