Post paint chips...how much to fix?

hey guys, i have a painted front bumper(due to the stx package), anyway, in the past two years it has gotten pretty chipped up from rocks and other road debris. it has gotten to the point where it is starting to look really bad, and i was just wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost to have the chips filled/painted, or to just have the entire bumper repainted. thanks in advance for any comments or opinions!!

you will have to have the bumper repainted.
Want to know what I'm going to do when I have to repaint mine? Powder coat it. You can't powder coat the platic piece, but you can the metal part of it. It's cheap and you won't have to worry about chips.

You might also try finding some of that clear plastic that's found on the front side of fenders on dualies (sp), it's meant to keep the paint from getting chipped.
