I'm getting a new front bumper, however it is white. I will do most of the prep-work myself but how much should I expect to pay to get it sprayed to the colour of my car? I'm in sussex if that makes a difference...

ballpark figures

£50-70?

a guy in Brighton who dealt with my Jetta said he'd spray my abarth front, rear and rear spoiler for £50 exc. paint, so i reckn about £20 + paint (£25 per litre) and he should do it for you?

See you tomoz

Just one extra thing to consider here, not every colour is produced in a gloss finish so requires a lacquer to make it shiny. You might need to budget for labour, paint and lacquer. Most fiat paints are glossy.

£25 a litre? That's very cheep! Usually 2K paint is around 70-90 quid a litre!

What you're talking about is the difference between a solid paint & a basecoat & lacquer system. All cars are sprayed using B&L system now so you do have to budget for lacquer as well.
