Repainting / Spraying Body Kit Parts?
Hi, I have absolute no knowledge in this area of motors so i need to ask here. I have a damaged bumper and found a cheap same exact one from ebay. However that is black and my cars blue, how easy is it and would it be for somebody spray this? I don't know the process and i want to know if its costly?
Many Thanks

Depends alot on the body shop but I'd budget up to £150 for it to be prepped and sprayed off the car by a professional bodyshop.
You may not get a perfect colour match, depends how old the paint on your car is from what I recall.0 -

Try paint sites like www.paints4u.co.uk if you can't get to the car now.
They have a wizard thing that tells you based on year and model and basic colour.
(Assuming you can't get the info on the chassis/vin plate, it will all be coded in there somewhere, you could ask the dealer to tell you.)

£150 seems to low to me Id be budgeting around £250 for a good job.
Cheaper and easier to just find one in the same colour0
