Im painting my GT3 bumper myself. The bumper I bought was already black, so Im just going to sand past the clear, bondo or urethane the damage, sand it all smooth, paint, sand, clear coat, sand, glaze and buff. Honestly, you could get a bumper painted for 200 from a local shop, might not be the best, but cheap. 400-500 is reasonable for a damn good paint job with oem paint, wait untill you go chameleon or candy paint... then you get into the thousands.

Whoops, forgot to mention. Unless you have a profesional spray gun, dont attempt to do it yourself. I think they cost like 100 bucks but its worth it cost wise if you do a lot of stuff. My grandpa painted our old jeep, factory finish, for a couple hundred in supplies. If you do go that route, paint will cost a pretty penny, but nothing like 400-600. You will need paint, clear, hardener, measuring cups, paint filters, mask, sand paper, tack cloths, and an orbital buffer for the clear coat.
