Default repainting bumper need help....

Has anoyone repainted the front or rear bumper? I have a 2003 crystal white LS430 , the paint is so prone to scratches and chips that I am considering getting them repainted. Any idea how much this costs and is it easy to match this factory paint?

Lexus Paint quality should be more durable imho...

My sister had parts of her IS bumper repainted after an accident using an airbrush technician. Cost about $200 at the dealership. Maybe you should look into this at your Lexus dealer?

My garage door came down & put 3 small scratches on the rear bumper. I went by 3 body shops & the lowest price was $500. I tried to fix it with touchup paint, but it didn't look that good. While I was thinking about it, I got two more small scratches, one was from a gro cart. I've decided to live with it until some thing does it more harm. I'm glad I didn't pay to fix it & then get 2 more scratchs.
