Default Repaint front bumper before returning the lease

A lease Z got alot of scatch on the front bumper and need to repaint. Anyone can recommend where to get it done with cheap price? The Z is going to return to dealer next week. Im looking for body shop around hayward, union city or fremont area. Thanks

I couldn't find any cheap places to paint my front bumper and it was off the car.

I am going to say...
Wrong color to be asking for a cheap paint job, it's better off you just returning it as is if it's not too bad.

most of the Z colors are hard to match for some reason.

+1 if its not really THAT bad i would just return it the way it is. PPW would cost you at least $100 more than any other Z color's paint job.

if you are looking for really cheap go to somewhere like maaco, their quality is terrible but who cares if you are just painting it to turn it back in

Not my Z. My girl also driving the Z with silver color and we're returning it next week. I found a place at Oakland names Choy Auto Body & Repair. They charge $280 for taking it off, sand, prime and paint. I'll post pictures when i get the car back.

She got the bottom bumper scratch pretty bad. And I don't want to receive a bill from the dealer saying they need to repaint the scratch and charge us $1xxx.

Try Auto World auto body in Oakland. If you are just returning the car, they can probably paint that, OK quality for $100.

I would have it inspected first. They might not ask for the repaint.
