An A/C shop accidentally torched a spot on my bumper trying to weld an A/C Hose (I know). I didn't have to pay for the job after they did fix my A/C and he has a body shop that will do it for me. But is it necessary to paint the whole bumper? I need my car, I cant have it sit overnight for that little spot. Here are some pics. Anyone have any ideas? Or know anyone/shop that can just fix this spot not the whole bumper? Im located in Miami.

 

Take your bumper off yourself and hand it to the body shop. You don't need a bumper to drive

In order for it to look 100% they need to color match and paint the entire bumper. I'm sure you probably have some rock chips that would be taken care of too obviously....I wish someone would do that to my bumper too so I could get a free repaint

 

at least they are owning up to it. your lucky for that. hell you just got a free a/c job and a free bumper repaint. they are painting it for free right?

 

yeah +1...no need to drive around with a bumper

 

If you want it to look right they will need to paint the whole bumper.

 

+1

 

lol, you guys amaze me. no they dont need to paint the entire thing, would be nice but not necessary. a good body shop can fix that without painting everything and make it look like it never even happened.

 

yeah a good one, probably not the one he is going to since they torched the bumper to begin with.

 

pearls are hard to paint match...if superblack...ur straight...take that bumper off and hand it to em

 

Yea they better pay for it. Yea I might just do that. I just hope they do a good job on it. As much as I want original paint on my car I guess ill have to just get it done. It just amazes me how one little thing like that you have to paint the whole bumper. I wish there was an easier way, but I guess ill have my car which i need for work itll be ok. One question though, it wont be a problem driving around with no front bumper? It wont affect anything? Debris?

 

You will be ok for a day with no bumper. Like we said, if you take it to a good shop they can blend it in but it is not easy to do and if its not done right it will look terrible.

 

Well I think ill just have them take my bumper, because its his shop. I doubt I can take it to a legit place and have him pay 4 it. I would leave it Friday morning and get it Monday morning. So a few days with no bumper would be ok still?
