didn't paint the rear but when i took my car to get the front bumper painted they charged me $200 which i thought was reasonable.

Did you hit them back?

Im kidding. I feel your pain. Its happened to me before. I recommend kinda shopping around. Get different quotes from different shops in your area and compare the quality of their work. Try posting in the Regional forums and see what suggestions the locals are coming up with.

300 bucks`that's not bad, 800 for DWP...that's not too bad either-DPW is a challenging paint to pull off.

In June i am paying 700 for a reputable shop to remove my front bumper for a re-spray. and an additional 300 to touch up a spider crack(bumper not removed) on the corner of my rear bumper some jerk backed into.... probably a little pricey but i don't trust too many with paint...especially white pearl.

I gotta tell a story here because at least twice a day I hear my neighbor go "PLEASE, .......someone hit my car". He's fully insured and up to his eyeballs in payments. I'm 100% certain I have seen him playing chicken on the freeway coming home, with or without willing participants.

A body shop only charged $200 to fix that or your deductible was $200?
