Default What do you guys think - front bumper

I called Maaco just now and they only want $100 to paint my front bumper. I know it's Maaco, but I plan to get the whole car repainted sometime next year.

Should I go for it for $100? I'm going to have the bumper off the car so it won't be faded in, but I'm not worried about it, just as long as it's white with the rest of the car.

Opinions? Comments? Concerns?

Thanks!

make sure you prep yourself and then take it to macco,...MOST of the time when you prep things yourself,...macco paint jobs look pretty decent

Not by taking it to Maaco, anyway. If you pay for it, you get it.

Basicly make it so all the have to do is put it in the booth and spray then bake it.
