After reversing into some rather hard objects (!), the rear bumper of my MY99 DMB is starting to have its paint flake off. The plastic underneath is still intact.

Do I need a completely new bumper or can the problem areas be sanded down and resprayed?

What sort of cost am I looking at?

A respray should do it,
£250 for top notch job or about £100 from a back street garage.

Holy BJ! The two areas whether paint flaking is quite small - about A5 size, so shouldn't need entire respray, or is that the only way to do it?

Try LittleKnocks ; they sponsor one of the forums on here now too. Theyll give you a quote on a good digital photograph as well.

Your shock at the respray price confuses me as youre asking whether you need a new bumber..... you do realise that on top of its substantial cost youll have to pay a similar price to get it finished too?

Little Knocks did our rear Sport's bumper, did a superb job at around 1/3 of the main agent quote.
