if you would drop a bumper off at a shop to get painted it should only be 500$ if it has to be two toned for just the bumper, when you throw in someones labor to take it off and put it back on thats 200$ by book time. so 200 for labor, 400 for a oem cover, and say 350 for prep and painting the cover. it adds up quickly, plus your paying for shops overhead
If it takes you longer than 20 minutes to take it and more than 20 minutes to put it on you need to find a new line of work
