Sounds about right, they will sand the clear off the whole bumper, blend the area where the damage is and re-clear the entire bumper.

OP, to me, that sounds somewhere between a fair price and a good price.

it sounds like you're confident in the workmanship of the place, and to me that's worth the premium, especially given folks' past issues with matching paint on the z.

from what i understand, price also depends on the color of paint. i had to get a portion of my rear bumper repainted on my pearl white, and the pearl white color requires a three stage paint process. i took it to a more pricey guy, but i was confident he could match the existing paint, so i went with him. your quote is less than i paid, if t makes you feel better.

as a demonstration of good faith, the guy also offered to paint my front fangs and rear bumper fascia flat black for three hundred, so i had that done too. all things considered, not so bad.

I got three estimates today because my girlfriend backed into my car this morning.
This is how all of them said that they would do it. The one that I chose said that they guarantee their work for the life of the vehicle.

Went to another shop that was recommended to me, and they're gonna repaint the bumper for $350. Here's the damage, btw:

That sounds like a good price. Are they going to paint the entire bumper?

I just picked mine up today and my shop did an amazing job. You cannot tell that there was any work done.

Good luck with yours. :tiphat:

Here is how mine turned out:
