I have a few scratches and rock chips already particularly on the front bumper and hood. I have been using touch up paint but would like to have it repainted at some point. Does anyone know approximately how much it would cost to have the front bumper and hood repainted?

You should ask your dealer. See if they have a good touch up person. They
can do a much better job than a bottle of touch up paint. I would think re painting your car would hurt re sale. Ask the used car manager. They touch up used cars all the time...

After you repaint it, install a clear bra. I'm doing this soon and after lots of research I'll go with Venture Shield.

i usually wouldn't recommend a clear bra.. but if ur 6 month (or less) old car needs repainting already on the bumper and hood, maybe you are the PERFECT candidate for the clear bra..

Why not? At least the Venture shield is almost invisible and won't block UV rays so the car won't be a two tone after years.

I've re-painted quite a few bumpers in the past, both front and aft.

In Vancouver, Canada the cost was usually $300/per at a reputable body shop.

That included removing the bumpers, repairing nicks and scratches and applying a two-stage finish.

I'm sure it could be done more cheaply in the US, but probably not that much, and of course this is your baby...
