Default Cost to repaint both bumper covers

Both of my bumper covers are starting to fade (millenium silver) from the sun and probably a poor previous repaint. What do you guys feel is a fair price to remove and repaint both the front and rear covers? I can purchase the silver stripping that goes around from Rock Auto for under $100 for both. The front cover requires a little extra repair for a few very small dings and scrapes. What is a fair price for both. I've been getting crazy numbers from some dealers. Thanks all.

About right. I had an Avalon and someone hit my rear bumper. The dent popped out in an hour leaving few scrapes. The other party's insurance paid about $250 for the repair and paint. That was 8 years ago though.

For 2002 LS430, the chrome moldings lost their shine over the years. I just used some molding from Advanced auto with 3M adhesive strip backing. One pack was enough for both bumpers. Cost: about $16.

Sounds about right but with my 2001 LS430 I didn't want to spend so much.. I was hoping $500 max...

Thanks all. I'm guessing it's going to cost me between $500-$700 to do both.

I used to have this done for $225/bumper.
Wasn't the best job in the world, but respectable for my application.
Usually done twice/year, as cars were doing 70K to 100K miles per year.

I just had my front repainted for $340 (MD); it depends on the quality of work that you want done. Mine was sanded prior to painting. BTW ensure your parking sensors are working if you have them.

Do you have the part number of the molding that you used? My moldings are totally faded and coming off.

I got 1,200 to do just the back bumper. High end shop, perfect work. 500-700 for both sounds reasonable if the work is good.

Bumpers must always be taken off for a repaint
