Previous owner screw up now my problem

I’ll skip the story but basically whoever owned the car before me drilled 4 holes into the front bumper to mount a plate. They’re tiny but extremely annoying. Anybody got a ballpark estimate on what it might cost to repair/repaint? Think just buying a new bumper and having it painted would be cheaper?

It will cost more to get anew bumper lol.
Go to an auto body shop.
They will fill holes and putty and primer. Then they will spray matching color on the repair area and blend into good area then they will re- clear coat the entire bumper and boom perfect bumper no holes.
The silly dealership does that shit with the holes like really ?

I have the same issue. A high end body shop told me 600$ to respray the whole bumper (holes + rock chips).

I got black sapphire paint if that matters.

Can probably respray your bumper for 300-400 but it won't match hood and stuff if the shop isn't OCD and high quality.

Strongly recommend your whole bumper to get redone to fill the holes that's what every shop tells me
