Paint chipping on 1 series front bumper

E82BSM128i · 02-26-2013, 09:00 AM

Hello all,

Looking for advice on how to repaint/repair front bumper chipping. Don't know how it happened but the bumper on my black 128 is having some paint chip off and its showing a grey undercoat after the black bits came off. Any suggestions on how to touch up or where to bring it in for refinishing? Newbie question, sorry!

Do you have a photo? I had an issue with a paint crack around my driver side head light. BMW covered it under warranty. Depending on the size of the chip you could have it filled without much trouble and since you have a black car you wouldn't notice it much.

Probably happen for the stone throw by the cars.
If has big damage will need complete paint and take out the bumper cost close 300-500$, if has small damage you will fixes just for 150-200$.
