My Ride: 2006 530i mystic blue
mtech rear bumper m5style front bumper m5 skirts and repaint the hood. 1900 plus tax for 2030.00 ive had my car painted in the past here and it was a good job. funny thing was the entire car was repainted for only 1800 but that was 10 years ago.
break down
body labor 8.7 hours 46.00 dollars an hour =400.00
paint labor 20.0 hours 46.00 dollar an hour =920.00
paint supplies 20.00 hours 28.00 dollars an hour = 560.00
body supplies/misc waste fees 10.00 bucks
kinda was hoping it to be less. i really dont wanna repaint my hood but it needs it.
shall i shop around?

Honestly thats way too much i got a few estimates to get my car fully repainted in NYC & they ranged from 2650-3000 so i feel 2000+ for bumpers & a hood is a rip off bro

If you don't mind traveling to Staten island, NY i would recommend you this body shop that somebody on this forum recommended me also , they recently did my full m5tech kit (installation and paint) for no more than $1000 and the job was amazing.

Tell him Lee sent you with the silver-gray 550.
