Ford wants $380 for a paint to match upper bumper cover for an 07. Does anyone know where I can find one for cheaper. It just seems like alot to pay for a plastic piece. Im replacing the black textured that I have now.

 

Get a quote from a local body shop to see how much they charge to paint your bumper cover

 

most body shops can get aftermarket OEM parts that fit for much cheaper

 

I hope so. I would figure they would of just called ford and ordered it and paid the same price but mark it up more and sell it to me. But it doesn't hurt to askthem huh.

thanks guys.

 

well, turns out I went to 4 body shops and they all couldn't find the part anywhere other than the dealership. But do to the expensive price of the part, one of the shops is only going to charge me 150 to paint my upper bumper, front, and back bumper oxford white with clearcoat. But the cost of the part was still 380. all and all i guess it works out. Should all be done by next week and I will post pics before and after. Oh and I also bought a chrome grill.

 

i'm looking to do the same but all the bodyshops here in south fla are looking for 600-1000$ for the same paint job not including the purchase of the bumper pad. can you get me the number to the bodyshop you're using?

 

Well I am in washington d.c. So I don't think it will help.
I know it is misleading with my panama city, fl. in the top right hand corner but I am in the navy and travel more often then not. Keeping ti hometown. If you still want the number or for anyone else who is in this area.
