You guys know paint, so maybe you can give me a ballpark estimate...
- Thread starter R18Civic
- Start date
For a bumper, I received a quote for 1100 with an OEM bumper cover and to repaint a spoiler, it was 400.
I think it would probably be around 1000 for a quality job with a quality part.

I was going to go to the dealership that I bought it from. They do better work than the local gm dealer. I know I had to have my bumper painted twice, once from an accident and another time from a hit and run. Around $550 both times. Either you have a huge bumper or very high quality paint.
Those rates are very dependent on the local area and the cost of the part. $1100 for an OEM bumper, painted, would not be out of the norm.
Why did you ask the question if you already knew the answer?
The question was in regards to the hood, not the bumper.
I'd try to get a good used hood in your color first.
Get a quote from your shop guy.
Little bit more complex shape on a bumper, but similar surface area.

Junk yards around here are full of them for $50.

Are you are buying a new OE hood? Those are aluminum IIIRC and material/ labor cost will be high, 600-1K not inc the hood would not be out of the ballpark for top quality materials and a nicely (as good or better than OE) done job.
I'm just planning on letting the dealership order one and paint it.
It will be interesting to see if they still have them available. My bet is they will refer you to the junkyards. As for painting, that is another ball of wax.
$550 new.

1 hour for R&R $60
6 hours to paint inside and out $360
Paint and materials $200
$1200+ with tax.
Might see if I can talk them into ordering a mint used one in that case.
700-1100 is what we would pay in our area depending on the level of prep work needed. Remember..... to purchase the stuff at home you are looking at a min of $125 upwards of $250 if you are starting at ground zero.
Are we even looking at the same website?

Ain't that some $h... when I click on your link to manually go to the website it says the hook only costs $360. Different pricing in different areas I guess?
Yes why?
