Hey guys, I was looking to get some scuffs on my front bumper repaired, and a couple light scratches on my car fixed, and I’m quite surprised with how much I’m being quoted, which in my case is $850 + GST. Judging from the pictures provided, is this too much to pay for how much damage I’ve got?

I should say I forgot to take into account the grille paint too, since it looks like the last owner of my car did a bad job at plasti-dipping it and got excess around it.
Regardless, do you guys think this price is worth fixing up all of this?

$940 for all that is pretty good. A bumper cover paint along is over $1100. $450 to prime and paint, if you have a brand new unit.

I'd say for that low price they are only doing a bumper corner repair and not a full strip and paint. Black is a bitch because every scratch shows up, and every week you will find new ones. Ask me how I know?

The subtle scratches under the door handle are usually only from finger nails, so a good cream polish like Kitten No 2 will get rid of them. I'd start there.
