Seems like high $$$. I had mine bumper and hood done for $800 last year, not much surface area.
Looks great however

This is a very good paint shop. Color match was difficult. Not something to trust to Cousin Bob with a spray gun.

I got a quote for the same thing for my car last fall, it was about $2500 and I told them I would remove/install the bumper, headlights, etc. So sounds about right. My car was from Reno, NV, so a lot of sand blasting on the front.

Looks very good. I'd be afraid to drive it.

Damn, this and the blue car are making my silver look really boring right now. :/
FWIW $3500 sounds right to me for a quality job that size. I'd MUCH rather have rock chips and even peeling clear than a cheap paint job.

Driving home from my wedding a semi ran over debris and it nailed my front end pretty extensively.... USAA would not give me a new front bumper and wants the auto body shop to "patch and repair".... pretty effin dissapointed in them right now.

I haven't had a claim that was my fault since (thinks some, realizes it was 1987, and feels old)... a long time ago, this one won't raise my rates.
