Cost to paint front bumper?

[AUDIOGUY]

Ok, I'll chime in... I run a large collision center in NJ. We do about 400k sales per month. It is just simple math to figure an estimate for the bumper paint.

Standard paint time in flat rate hours on a Boxster bumper is aproximately 3 plus 1 for clear coat.

Tinting color is aproximately .5 hrs charge
Nib sanding and buffing is another .5 hrs charge

Flex agent for the paint
Materials figured at 25.00 per hour
labor is 47.00 per hour

Calculation 5 hrs of labor at 47.00 = 235.00
materials at 5 hrs at 25.00 per hour = 125.00
Flex add is usually 7.00 = 7.00
Hazardous waste disposal = 3.00
Sales tax at 7%======================
395.90
------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is more than reasonable to get this done for 400 to 450 in a
quality collision center.

These prices are considering you provide the shop with a "A" quality bumper
that needs to be prepped, primed and painted. Any bodywork needing to be
done to the cover will add a few more hours to the mix.

If you ever get to NJ, I will get it painted for you! LOL

Best of luck!
