Yea so as you can tell someone hit my car, no dents or anything just paint scraped off the back of the bumper, very little actually its pretty frustrating. I have a Sentra SE-R now I'm trading it in for the Z in the spring. So anyone know what a decent price would be to get that painted, I figure it would be similar costs of it happening with the Z, same paint I assume. Thanks

 

gimme an estimate: how big is the scrape?

 

A few inches long 1 inch thick, two different lines.

 

Paint time for a bumper cover should run in the $300 range. Could be a little more or less depending on how much your shops charge for labor.

 

Where would you recommend getting it done? Obviously the dealership will over charge me, so a local shop or what?

 

I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago on my z...just got it fixed last week at the dealership. They had to take the bumper cover off and repaint the whole thing. Cost (parts/labor) was $401. It was in the shop for a day and a half

 

oh yeah...I had 4 different quotes from various body shops and all were within $40 of each other. I went with the dealership because I felt they had the best ability to do proper paint matching.

 

Thanks
