$1200 rear bumper paint?!
Hello fellow 350z drivers a month or so back my side of rear bumper was scratched by someone in parking lot.. there are several scratches but nothing deep and no dents, it was a very slow contact as they were parking next to me , i got an estimate and it came to be $1160.00. This seems very steep and i want to know if im correct or should be expecting this from other paint shops??
Also recently i managed to scratch under the opposite side of rear bumper when pulling in driveway would this be more expensive? All the damage is on the bumper so i just want it repainted a quality matching black. How much will this cost? thank you😁🚗

It sounds high, but it depends on your area too. Ask around at other shops, you'd be stupid to only run off only one quote.

In my country i can get the bumper fully painted and fixed if needed and in good quality for just $90.
And for less than $700 i can paint the full car.
I don't understand why in USA is so expensive to paint cars.

In Sacramento, a quality paint job for a bumper could be anywhere between $250-500.
$500 is actually considered over paying. $1160 sounds outrageous!

Blending nickel-size chip and re-clear in my area is around $1000.
No one has seen the damage. Based on OP's responses, he doesn't know much about body work. When he says "scratches, but nothing deep," I highly doubt that's the case. If the plastic has any marking without paint, they will charge a killing to level it out.

In the US you can get a OEM bumper replacement for about $400. I would pay $7-800 tops using a brand new oem bumper. Should be way less if refurbing the old banged up one
