So today I was replacing my fuel filter [big difference btw] well anyway my jack moved a little and changed my cars direction, so with out thinking about it my car rolled into the garage door rail. now my bumper has some scratches and a little bit of a indent on it. :cry:

Is anyone on this fourm a body man and or know one? I also have some other things like dents that i would like pulled.

And has any one ever had a SVT rear bumper repainted? how much did it cost you?

I know a body man :)

Sucks about your car though, that always puts a damper on working on your own cars when something like that happens!

Having a complete bumper sprayed will probably run you around $200-300 in my experience. Depends where you go obviously, somebody might do it for $100, someone else for $500.

Next time please put jackstands under your car and NEVER lift it with the scissor jack to work on it.

I work from home doing autobody/paint.
Price for painting a bumper (or any other part of a car) depends on how much prep work is needed prior to paint (dents, scratches, etc). Also, color can affect price. Some of the reds with pearl are crazy expensive. Just paid $105 for a pint of red for an 06 Focus. Yes, that was just for the color, clear, catalyst, sealer, etc. isn't cheap either.
