Default Paint question...

I have a few rock chips on my bumper and my door, along with some scratches on my rear bumper. I was wondering can a body shop touch up these imperfections? and how much would it cost?

My front bumper is chipped to hell and will have to be completely re-done, some piece of sh*t back into it also and drove off (same thing that happened to my rear bumper) I hate the low lifes that do that crap! But anyways what would it cost to have the front bumper completely redone?

My friend who was backed into but the person didn't drive off said his bumper was 300 to have re-painted, does that sound about right?

I was curious about that bc someone clipped my car when pulling out and took off...that pisses me off more than anything...I was curious about getting mine painted, it's only a scratch about two inches long, but I notice it and I'm sure they'd have to paint the whole bumper.

Ya i have some chips on my hood (3) and 1 decent size on on my passenger door (gf slamming it into one of those big rocks...) I want to get these touched up, I could not afford to have the whole hood/door painted!

I know I will have to paint my whole bumper it is totally screwed, rock chips all over and scratches. Stupid nissan and there cheap paint

300 sounds about right, as far as the door? they could prolly touch it up, but it wouldnt look perfect.

I figured around 300 for the bumper, is there no way to touch my my hood and door that will look close to perfect?

Edit: also since my car is 3 years old will the factory paint match up? sorry if that is a dumb question

Be very careful with LeMans Sunset, there is actually 3 shades for the Z alone, depending on the factory that it came out of. When I did the body kit I had to have the whole car painted cause it just wasn't working out, no matter what it was slightly off. This will probably be a lot less noticable with just touch ups, but still coming from a perfectionist.... be careful.

I am a perfectionist as well which is why these little chips are driving me up the wall! and I don't want to pay to have it touched up if I will still be able to notice it.

I got an estimate on my front bumper and was quoted $750 for labor and paint. My car is the Pearl White, if that makes a differnce. 3 stage pearl/metal flake is a tad more expensive.
