Default about how much would this cost?

alright well i am wanting to repaint my formula front bumper cover... because it looks like total hell with the spider webbing all over it... and i was just wondering about how much it would be to repaint just the front bumper alone for just paint costs? i dont want the labor numbers because my cousin paints cars on the side and said he would do it for me for free as long as i helped him out with it... the car is red by the way... and its a 94 formula with the formula front bumper... not the t/a one

Red paint is expensive, and fades really fast compared to other colors. You'll spend probably $200-$300 in materials pretty quick, and it probably won't match to the fenders and hood unless your car is a real garage queen.

Your best bet would be to repaint the front bumper, and blend into the fenders. That should jack your price up but about 4 ounces of basecoat, and a pint of clear(roughly $50).

i used to paint cars before i joined the navy. red is one of the hardest colors to match. even with the same paint code its not always right on. you would more than likely have to fade it into the finders and hood. reds also costs a lot more than any other regular color.
