Default cost to have a hood and bumper repainted?

my car looks pretty sweet but the front bumper and hood have white specs on them and just a little wear. anyone know the cost to have it repainted black pearl (thats the factory color)? Would it just be better to get a CF hood and just have the bumper painted or is all that just not worth it cuz you can hardly tell?

It's your decision. I got a $275 quote for my front bumper only. It was close to $500 to have it blended with the fenders and the hood.

black pearl is not a factory color. Super Black 03-05 or Magnetic Black 06-08.

thanks for the heads up. I think I'll just not mess with it. too pricey, you can only tell when you get up close anyways.

It's going to be expensive.
Color matching will be a betch too.
If the paint price is not enough, getting it blended will.

Not worth it unless the rest of your paint is perfect and u get a clear bra with the repaint. Otherwise u might as well save up for a full respray.

Cost of paint/labor is beyond ridiculous. You prob only want to pay once, if ever.

$1000 for a decent job with blending and such. Without it blended you'll see the difference in paint colors.

Yeah, that's the problem with black cars. I have the same problem. Up close my car looks like it has acne. Should have done the $500 clear bra when I bought it. I recently lowered my deductible and hoped for a hail storm lol... Not to mention that by living in an apartment complex I find a new dings every other month.
