To repaint entire bumper correctly $400 - $500

You could have it blended for less.

I'd say 400-700 for the entire bumper. Maybe call your local dealer and ask for the pre-owned car manager. He or she will have a list of painters that can do spot paint repairs. They use them all the time to make used cars look good on the lot. Give them a call. I'd say if its "spot" repaint-able it would be around 150.

150 for spot paint seems like a better option

checking few local bodywork shops...thank you.
