Q: the lexus' back bumber is scraped up with no visible frame damage but the paint got kind of scraped off, we didnt report it to the insurance because im only 17 and i dont want to tell my parents because i already ruined one car so i was wondering about how much it would cost me because it might take them a week for the estimate. and how much would the paint job cost...im still waiting for the lady to call with the estimate..i ope she doesnt rip me off cuz im young and "naive"
A: You hit a Lexus right and damaged their bumper? If so, and it really is just a bump and scratch on their bumper, with no other fender damage or interior damage, then repainting is $800 tops, depending on if the owner wants to go to a regular joe shop. If the owner is picky and wants to get it done right, meaning new bumper cover, primer, painting, and baking the paint, then we're talking easily $1200-1500.
