Repaint Front Bumper

[M4XS55]

Looking for recommendations for a quality place (with reasonable pricing) to repaint my front bumper (F82 Black Sapphire) in Northern Virginia. There isn't any major damage but just a bunch of small nicks from normal driving.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Not sure on the reasonable pricing (I went through insurance), but I was very impressed with D&V Autobody in Sterling. Perfectly handled work on my individual color.

+1 for D&V (Masters). Since you're pay out of pocket, I don't know if it'll be reasonable. They're usually on the pricier side of things.

Thank you both. I reached out to D&V and am working on getting a quote.

Interested to know what they quote you. I also have BSM and it could use a respray as well. Thanks!

Same here. The previous owner scraped the bottom of the bumper real bad and I want it re painted.

D&V Autobody Masters Estimate

Total of $2,031.30 to repaint the front bumper. Most of the estimate looked pretty standard to me with the exception of the distance sensor service/calibration at $358.00 and scanning for codes which was $240 (2 hours at $120/hr). This could be standard stuff but I wasn't expecting it.

Breakdown was this:
$144.04 Parts
$572.00 Body Labor - 13 hrs at $44/hr
$378.40 Paint Labor - 8.6 hrs at $44/hr
$240.00 Mechanical Labor - 2 hrs at $120/hr
$275.20 Paint Supplies - 8.6 hrs at $32/hr
$26.50 Body Supplies - 10.6 hrs at $2.50/hr
$368.12 Miscellaneous
$27.04 Sales Tax 6%
---------------------------------------------------
$2031.30 Grand Total

Hope this helps fellas. Not sure I'm ready to spend $2k to repaint the bumper but glad to have a point of reference.

Side note... was impressed with the facility and the staff was extremely helpful and courteous. I'm confident their work is top-notch as some of you mentioned.

At that price you mine as well but another bumper and have it painted and put on.

Yeah, I got some informal "ball park" quotes over the phone from a few other shops (can't remember their names) and they were saying $2k for both the bumper and hood. Don't want to go the cheap route but also think I could find comparable work for considerably less than D&V.

I think that price is outrages. I got a quote from Fairfax Bmw autobody shop to repair a dent and repaint it. It was between 800-900. I went to another shop not far from there to get another quote for insurance purposes and price was close to BMW Fairfax.

Oh didnt mention it was for the front bumper.

Thanks! For a reputable shop under a grand, I may pull the trigger. I'll reach out to them as well.
