Are the sedan and journey bumper (sport sedan bumper) the same with the same fitment? I'm shopping for a replacement to mine mostly for the plastic damage but its a shaving is all ...not sure what can be done with it as far as body work yet.

So I'm on Ebay looking for a lucky win for a K52 grayblue 2010 sedan sport bumper and all I see are Journey model bumpers.

Thanks

 

Sport bumper is different styling from journey

 

Yes, bolt on.

 

Guess the best I'm going to do is repaint my original bumper. I've been using scratch Wizard and it takes some practice --some looks like beginner fixs. Overall its worth it's money over the OEM paint pen.

 

$1700 to repaint and blend the front end including the bumper sound about right or does this vary widely based on workmanship/skill and materials?

Seems impossible to find the help ya' need. Most warn of the "Other Guy's" clear coat peeling off early.

 

That is very expensive for a respray and blending to fenders and hood.

 

He swears he's above the rest but I think it's a bit costly also. He says the other guys clear coat will peel and you'll see the work done if it is too cheap. What range should I expect? I'm in Maine btw.

Thanks

 

I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for it.

 

I had spot repairs/repaint on both my front and rear bumpers for 800. My job cost a wee bit more b/c apparently my shade of red is a tri coat of paint.

Granted it was not a full repaint for either bumper, but added up, it should be about the work of one bumper. Thus I would expect to pay 800-1100.

 

They all want to see the car first. No estimates of any kind. I suppose that is to be expected.


This is one of my cars. This is the sales video from months back. See the chips? I have one spot where rust has begun.

Would it be more economical to have it all done as a spot job? The one place that has bid on it said it was to extensive for spot repairs so he offered what he did; to repaint the front end.

I feel like an idiot for buying this car. No idea why I took on so much work. Should I bite the bullet and repaint? But then the mileage says don't repaint.

 

Maybe consider a vinyl wrap?
