Paint scratch. How much ?

[nianeux]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody already had his paint scrathes repaired at the dealershop or somewhere else. I heard they have to replace the whole part of the car to match the colour if the scratch is to deep. Is that true ? How much did it cost for the job done ?

I have a black boxster and a few little scratches ( but too deep to repair by myself I guess, and anyway I'm a litlle perfectionnist ) on my front and rear bumpers. How much do you think it should cost ?

If the scratch can be felt by finger nail, you'll need a repaint. Dealer don't do body work. Instead, they give the work to a body shop nearby. You are better off going to the body shop directly. Ask dealer which they use and get an estimate from the body shop directly.

You may want to consider an aftermarket bumper that is more aggressive. I'd use a good body shop for this as respray can be noticible if not done right. I don't think the bumper needs to be removed to respray. However, it's not hard to do and some choose to do it this way
