It has more to do with how much work the bumper will need than what the shop WANTS to charge. If it needs to be painted, it obviously has been hit by something and requires some bodywork. Is it scratched, gouged, chipped? These are things that need to be stated in order to give an accurate estimate. True it would cost about 200-250 to JUST paint a bumper. But if it needs 2-3 hours of bodywork its going to cost more. I think if you want an estimate on something you need to include a picture or its not even worth asking unless it is to JUST paint a panel or part.

These are things that need to be stated in the first post so its more clear for everyone. I only say this because most people ask how much to paint something not knowing or maybe not thinking of the bodywork that may be involved. And as far as someone painting a bumper for 100 bux its going to be tough. There's probably 75 in materials alone. I'm saying more like 250.

Simple 6 am reponse: They are junk. They don't work. Go with PDR or its going to need actual bodywork. And not to sound like an asshole, but if your bro-in-law is a bodyman, ask him for some help. Like I have stated above pics help and if he can see the car and said dents he would be better able to help you. Gooc luck.

Matt - Thanks a lot. Found them on that site @ this link http://yhst-1408381693991.stores.yahoo.net/jdmciek9tyrt1.html
Problem was, I didn't realize that they were a JDM piece. I thought they were simply a aftermarket product that some company came out with. Price actually isnt that bad either from them. I expected to pay over 200 for them.
Thanks a lot of the help.

Not to knock what you did civicstud, but if you want to know how to properly do it follow these steps...
First of all, are they raw plastic or painted already? If painted already, wax and grease remove all dirt and road grime and then scuff with a gray scuff pad and base/clear.
If they are raw plastic, you will need to again wax/degrease, scuff very thoroughly with gray scuff pad and scuffing paste, clean again, need an adhesion promoter/plastic sealer with some sort of flexing agent, then base/clear.

Edit: You MUST MUST MUST MUST provide a picture of damage if you're looking for a cost estimate. We want this to remain civilized, so any bickering over hypothetical prices will not be tolerated at all.
Not to sound like a broken record, but there's a few problems with this type of question: 1) most of the people here have no friggin' idea what it takes to paint a car properly, and thus, have no idea what an accurate price is.
2) Labor rates, paint/materials costs, and sales tax rates are different from place to place, and this has a huge impact on the bottom line of an estimate.
Thus, it's damn near impossible for someone "over here" to give an accurate estimate to someone "over there."
Oh, and Tony (Milano'99) knows what he's talking about, so none of you goobers should argue with him.

Is it wrinkling around the areas you may have sanded through? Are you using spray can shit or a gun? Take some pics if possible.

its probably the shitty primer you are using. being from a can it may be lacquer? Also it is wrinkling around your sanding marks because you are putting it on too heavy or something is contaminating the surface. It needs to be stripped completely, dewaxed and degreased, and put down some adhesion promoter and some type of plastic sealer/primer, then sanded, then I would seal it again, the paint it. It may work. But have it done professionally.

I'm look to have my car re cleared. I have been told that the clear was eaten by an acidic producted used to strip parking lots, who knows? I do know my car looks like crap, already. I have pictures posted here http://forums.clubsi.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1282091/page/0/fpart/1 I was wondering what you guys think it would cost to re clear the car right and if anyone knows of a good place in the miami-southern florida area. Thanks to all.

I don't know any shop that will just reshoot the clear. Besides, if the acid ate through the clear, it probably ate into the color, too, so it'll need to be painted.
Remember, clearcoat isn't some sort of armor. It's merely clear paint, paint without pigment.
