How Much to Paint?

[GolfyG]

Hey folks, I am looking to get the front bumper removed filled and painted and wondered what kind of cost you would expect for this? 

The filling is the two sets of screw holes that can be seen on either side of my short number plate (Why doesn't everyone just stick their plates on these days), other than that it's just the usual stone rash.

Was quoted £690+vat which I thought was a bit on the stiff side to say the least. What do you think?????

My view is that "you get what you pay for.) I suspect it is not so much the cost of painting but the labour involved in removing/refitting bumper and repairing it. Plainly I do not know where you have been for the quote but I imagine cheaper quotes could be obtained, which probably comes back to "you get what you pay for."

I would suggest you shop around a bit and then make your decision based upon what you see at the premises you visit for quotes and the prices you are quoted. Do not be affraid to ask to see the work they aare currently doing.
