I went in to get an estimate on a bumper repair. They told me that it would be 1500 dollars to replace my bumper, 800 of which was how much they planned to charge me for paint(including labor). When I asked them if they could replace the bumper without the 800 dollar paint job they told me that they were required to charge me for paint matching etc. and that there was no way they could not paint it or refer me to someone who would replace it without painting it.
