Paint chip

So my sister chipped some paint off her front bumper. Would the whole bumper need to be replaced or could it be repainted? If so, what are some reputable shops to do it at?

Thanks!

Boyd Autobody, or Fast track Autobody.


Depending on the severity of the chip.. if its not bad, repaint will work fine.

If its a crack in the bumper, either fixing (if not too bad) or replacing should be considered.

Try Boyd. They have a good reputation, and they're an RS sponsor.. what more could you ask for?

With My experiance in Victoria as an autobody supplies salesman, you could take it to any bodyshop and have them re-spray it with no problems, BUT if its a fairly busy shop they may not want to take on the job ( profit reasons ). For just a Chip or even a scratch a Touchup guy can do just as good a job as a body shop, and for cheaper! Sometime they are mobile and sometimes they have shops. If you were in Victoria I could reffer you to a few touch up guys. If you feel like going this route, talk to a local dealership and see who does their touchup work and you should be able to contact them that way.
