Scratch sa bumper. What are my options.

**carlo_41786** · April 18th, 2009 11:46 PM

Help naman po.

Nagasgasan po yung bumper ko sa harapan bandang kaliwa. siguro mga 2-3 inches ang haba.

Tanggal yung paint at labas yung pinaka "plastic" na itim.

Ang nakakasama pa ng loob. Hindi naman ako ang may gawa. Ang ingat ko magmaneho. Tiyuhin ko may dala kasama sila tatay at iba ko pang mga tiyo. Nung magpapagas sila sa Shell calamba. Hindi daw napansin ng tiyo ko yung semento sa halamanan. Ayun, sapul ang bumper.

Then kanina. Pumunta kami for the estimate of the damage.
5K daw kasi buong bumper pipinturahan para ayos eh ang liit lang ng damage. Then tinanong namin kung may option pa, sabi nila is 2K na pinakamura, then kalahati lang ng bumper.

Ganoon ba talaga kamahal singil sa simple scratch sa bumper?
Any suggestion sir? Any shop near south(im from San Pedro Laguna nga pala)na kayang gawan ng paraan yun?

Ride ko nga pala is MZ3 and color is Titanium Silver.

I think posting a picture would help. I had my month old Honda City's bumper partially repainted because of damage caused due to road work near my office. It cost me P1k but then the damage was quite small and near the bottom.

average cost to have bumper painted would be 2.5k.

mag-canvass ka muna. 5k is on the high end na siguro.

agree. 5K is steep. i think this is a CASA price. cmiiw though
3K last ako nagpa paint bumper ng b12 sentra.

don't go half bumper though. been there, done that. sadly, nde pantay lalabas na kulay. dapat talaga buong section, in this case, bumper if papabuga ka ng paint. kahit OEM color pa yung gamit na paint. iba kasi ung kulay ng paint ng sun-exposed na.

Ok poh sir. pag-uwi ko mamaya. picturan ko sya.

*badbadtz.carlo - Ganun nga din ang suggestion sa akin nung SA ko. Buong part na para even ang color pero sabi nya. Magaling naman ang mga pintor nila at kayang kaya na daw yun.

Mga sir. any shop na pwede ko dalin ang oto para pabuga ng paint ang buong bumper? Thanks.

Hopefully, there is no dent in the bumper...

5K is a pretty high estimate...and I would agree that painting the whole bumper is a better solution in the long run. On the other hand, if its quite small and isnt too noticeable you can put it off for a while since the bumper is plastic and wont rust. (My experience was I had the bumper repainted, then eventually get scratched again several times in the lifetime of the car.)

Actually, Medyo maliit lang. Not that noticeable. Pero nakakasama lang ng loob pag nakikita ko.

Buti naman at walang dent. Sabi ni tatay, Lubog daw nun una pero umangat din. Badtrip talaga. Siguro i should just bear with that one for the moment and have the whole bumper repainted kapag nanalo nalang si tatay sa sabong.

silver naman pala color ng ride mo, so hindi ganun ka-sensitive with color matching (plus bumper pa pala yan). 2-3 inches, kaya ng sectional re-paint siguro yan.

Sir Superman, what do you suggest? Should i go for the 2K sectional repaint nalang? Won't there be any problem with that?

Any place where i can bring it to have it done?

Hayyy... Im still bothered whenever i see it. Oopps. i forgot something, i forgot to take a picture of it.

Sana maayos na yun para pag-gimmick ko sa friday, Ok na ulit sya.
