aftermarket bumper paint

A question for those of you who have aftermarket bumpers, did you paint them yourselves or have it painted? I am trying to determine how much I should budget to replace my cracked front bumper.

Thanks for the info

It depends.....do you have a small compressor, and a spray gun?

I have done quite a few bumpers some even have flake in the paint and it worked pretty well although I am not a body man by trade.

Since you are doing the entire bumper, it's not as hard as trying to do "piece-work" as it takes a little bit of skill to blend things in.

Have a look here. Everything I have bought from them has been a perfect match. I have even had friends who have done it with just their rattle cans, and it came out looking decent. I used their rattle can once just to touch up some road rash, and it worked perfectly.

But they have everything you would need to get started.
