diggerdan11 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 So I have always been a very couscous driver and have never had any accidents (that were not my fault or caused by bat weather). Well the other day at work I bumped a pole. ( I will try to get pics up soon) The corner of my front bumper is covered in paint. I don’t think it scratched very deep and it may be able to buff out. But most likely I will have to have it fixed. I could take it to paint shop and have it fixed which may be expensive, or I could just buy a new bumper and have it repainted, and put it on myself. The best part about doing this is I would not have holes where the license plate bracket once was (my front license is in my window). Does anyone know of a good place to find one? I found one in ebay but I would like to see some options before I buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Wow Dan sry to hear brother. When mine was hit the body shop just fixed the paint on the spot that was messed up and it turned out great so it may be just as easy for you to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeekroar Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I say, get it fixed, have them fill the holes. Go to at least 5 shops to get quotes. You are still going to have to pay them to prime, base,clear it.Plus cost of new bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yeah I will get some quotes when i get back from vacation next week I know a guy who works at one of the best body shops in town and he has is own personal paint booth and all the equipment so He may be able to paint it for me for a better price, he is always looking for some extra cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
