Me and a friend bought a 200 dollar air compressor in sears and did it ourselves on my bumper.
The paint for a quart was like 15 bucks,and the clear coating and everything else was more.The total was 56 dollars,pretty cheap i think.Not all that hard to do yourself,but my friend is pretty good at it so i let him do it.
I asked a guy who's been working in a body shop for years,and he sais they can charge you alot.My 1 bumper would've cost me around 320 dolars.And another shop wanted 120 dollars to paint my friends spoiler,those things are really overpriced if you ask me.
