I paid my paint guy $150 per bumper ($300 total) for painting. $80 for a QT of good PPG paint. And probably $40-50 in supplies (sand papers, scotch pads, adhesion promoter, cleaning supplies) so right at about $400 for all

I do all my own prepping and finishing. So he just paints them and does the work in between coats of paints. Like fine sanding and taping / masking off.

I do the first prep. And I also do the final wet sanding and buffing myself. So it saves me a lot of $$$

Congratulations those bumpers look very sharp your painter did a excellent job on them and gave you a really good deal. Do you plan on doing any other cosmetic exterior modifications?

Excellent, thanks. I'm going to be needing a new bumper painted soon, so just collecting data points to compare quotes against.

Thanks man, paint job is only as good as the prep tho so thanks to me too. Hahaha

But.. Yeah side splitters are coming next! Not sure what else I have planned! I added a silver Nismo style stripe to the steering wheel as well !! and whatever comes to my mind!

No problem at all. Yeah don’t get ripped off and don’t be afraid to help out (prep parts and do final sand and buff if you have the products / materials) it saves a LOT of time for painter which therefore saves you LOTS OF MONEY!



Foam cannon’d her today! Gonna get a photo shoot and possible videos done tomorrow. Will keep everyone posted!
