I know this is hard to tell over the computer but can someone give me a ball park estimate on how much it would cost to re-paint a hood, front bumper, and the area under the drive side door and pull a minor dent out of it as well.

I was told by 3 local painters $200 for hoods and $200 for my front bumper.

So if you already got local estimates from people who can actually see what you want done, what are you looking for from us? Do you think it should be less? Seems like a good price to me. But then again, is it just to shoot the paint or is it prep work as well? Too many unknown to really help you out more than you've already been helped by the locals.

Thanks man that's kinda what i was figuring it was going to cost. Im just trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to find a black firebird bumper and hood in a junkyard that are in good shape before i run out and have the stuff repainted. The front bumper is pretty bad clear is starting to wear VERY thin and a lot of spider webbing. The hood has a lot of small scratches and clear coat missing.
