when it comes to paint....you get what you pay for.

from a shop where you dont know anybody...500 sounds about right for a PERFECT JOB.

theres a million paint shops out there...i bet you can find a place that would paint it for 80 bucks, but like i said...when it comes to paint..your really getting what you paid for.

Nah..I don't believe that.
The shop I use would charge $350-$400 and they do great work.My rear bumper would be another $75-$100 because it's 3 stage.I know because I asked.I was thinking about geting the front bumpercover done in the future if more chips appear.
$500 is just a nice fixed number for a Lexus.
