So the Wife washed my car for me today as I was busy hanging a gate.

She called me out to look at the front bumper.

Not very happy but I wasn't happy with the colour match when I got it back from the painter.

I had it done just under a year ago.

Now I'm debating do I get in touch with the chap who painted it or should I just go to a body shop and get it resprayed.

Whats the rough cost £100-150?

i would go somewhere different about £180 to £200 for the lot painted
but sure they can blend that in for cheaper

Just been and seen a painter and been quoted £150 CASH for a full respray of the bumper, and he said it will match the car 1000%, Just waiting on the chap who painted to come back as I've sent him some pics.

The painter came out and is coming back next Friday to put it right, so that will be good till I have the spare cash to get the bumper re painted.
