how much to repaint a bumper?
So i was at Walmart in highstown / east windsor whatever you want to call it, and some lady backed up into me. She didn't really do much damage... she cracked the side marker light and a little bit of the bumper...it was her fault. i wasnt even in the car and i wasnt moving or anything. she backed right up into me. but anyway... i am most likely going to just go through her insurance, but i was wondering how much you think it would be to get a front bumper painted. i was thinking about proposing to her that i buy a new bumper cover and just take it to a shop and get it painted and just throw it on the car and see if she would just cover the costs + a few extra bucks for my time removing the bumper and putting it back on after it was painted.

go through her insurance, they will most likely need to blend into the fender and hood to make the bumper match....dont sacrifice a good job just to be a nice guy to her

whatever decision you fall on, make sure you decide fast, because dealing with insurance w/ an accident that happened a week ago or so is not fun .
