pricing to paint front bumper?

anyone got a quick ball park of what it would cost to paint my front bumper? the car is arctic white and was repainted in august, however i drifted into a snow bank and it caused 3 spots in my bumper to spiderweb and chip however no cosmetic damage.

Id have it rechecked, if it has flex damage (which it CAN), the paint work may come back, I would say 300-400 depending on how far you want to go. You could save some $$$ if you take it off and bring it there, since white should not need to be blended.

I payed $250 to have mine sprayed (black). I did all the prep work and carried it in to the shop like above poster suggested.

Just so long as they use good paint. PPG is a great brand of paint, it's what GM uses. Ask the body shop that you're going to if they use PPG. My paint on the front end was color matched to the VIN but you can tell that it is not quite the same if you stare at it. Over a month now and it's getting really close in color.
