Hi Guys, there are two 10cm scratches on the right corner of the front bumper. I think I only need to repaint this right part. Do you guys know how much does it cost to repaint it? Is the bumper plastic? Is it necessary to repaint it? It's a 2007 black car.

If it is just scratches, and there is no physical damage to the bumper or mounting gear itself necessitating an actual bumper replacement, then, depending on the shop and the quality of the paint job, you should be able to get that done for a couple of hundred dollars.

Have you tried a good scratch-remover first? One of my favorites is SCRATCH-OUT (there are similiar products, but I know from experience that this is a good one). But these products only work on surface scratches, stains, and imperfections in the clearcoat that are not too deep....if they are deep or through the paint, then you need a body shop.



Welcome to CL and CAR CHAT, BTW...I see you are a brand-new poster.

I think it's deep, but how much does it cost if I go to a body shop?

all bumpers are plastic. Still its going to cost a few hundred to get it repainted. Less than 400 I would assume. Still, a good shop might be able to use touch up paint and just fill it in. Best to go to a body shop to get the answer since we dont know what it looks like, nor own a body shop

shoot for around 400, i think that's pretty normal
