Again very good job.....just wanted to use this as a way to point out pricing to other people. You have about 10 hours into the job. Shops labor rates can range anywhere from 50-100/hr....so a repair like that could easily run you $500-$1,000 just for a bumper. Food for thought for the people who are always looking for a good "cheap" paint job.
